Abstract
A system and method for path planning of autonomous vehicles based on gradient are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: executing a path planning module by use of a data processor; receiving, from a remote data source by use of the data processor, ancillary data to modify operation of the path planning module based on a context in which an autonomous vehicle is operating; generating, by use of the data processor, a trajectory comprising a plurality of waypoints; and causing the autonomous vehicle to follow a path conforming to the plurality of waypoints.
