Abstract
Methods and systems that use a phantom vehicle to help generate a planned path for a real-world vehicle are described. The system will identify a starting point and a destination for a trip of the real-world vehicle. The system will select, from the data store of vehicle profiles, a phantom vehicle having an associated motion planning system that corresponds to a system that is deployed on the real-world vehicle. The system will use a high definition map to generate a planned route for the real-world vehicle from the starting point to the destination in the map. The system will run a simulation in which the phantom vehicle moves along the planned route in the map. The system will then output a record of the simulation to a user of the real world-vehicle or to a system of the real-world vehicle.
