Abstract
Techniques for enabling dynamic routing are described herein. A vehicle may receive a destination and generate a path to the destination. Further, the vehicle may generate a local graph that includes one or more driving lanes. The vehicle may use the path and the local graph to determine overlap data indicative of a distance that the path overlaps with the driving lane(s). The vehicle may utilize the overlap data to determine a color value(s) to associate with the driving lane(s) in a top-down image. Accordingly, based on determining the color value(s), the vehicle may generate colored top-down image(s) of the driving lane(s) and use such data to control the vehicle.
