Abstract
Methods and systems for generating a planned path for a vehicle are disclosed. Upon receiving a trip service request, a processor will access a data store containing multiple candidate motion planning systems, each of which is associated with at least one vehicle or fleet. The processor will identify a starting point and a destination for the trip service request, and it will use an identifier for the vehicle or its fleet to select, from the candidate systems, a motion planning system. The processor will use the functions of the selected motion planning system to generate candidate trajectories for the first vehicle from the starting point to the destination in a high definition map. The processor will select a planned route from the candidate trajectories, and it will output trip instructions to cause the vehicle to move along the planned route.
