Techniques of dynamic path optimization are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving an instruction to determine an optimal path from a source geographical location to a destination geographical location, and determining an optimal path from the source geographical location to the destination geographical location using corresponding historical traffic information for each one of a plurality of sub-paths. The historical traffic information for each sub-path may correspond to an estimated arrival time at a start location for the corresponding sub-path and be used to select sub-paths from the plurality of sub-paths. The selected sub-paths may define the optimal path. In some embodiments, the historical traffic information comprises an indication of traffic flow for the corresponding sub-path. In some embodiments, the indication of traffic flow comprises an average speed of traffic flow.
