  • Patent number: 11953327
    Abstract: Route provisioning techniques for an autonomous driving feature of a vehicle include receiving a user-generated route generated by a user using a second map database that differs from a first map database of the vehicle that stores a road graph specifying nodes and links representative of a map of roads proximate to the vehicle and specifies an array of geo-points between a current geo-location of the vehicle and a final geo-location for the vehicle, determining, using the road graph maintained by the first map database, a set of valid routes from the current geo-location to the final geo-location ordered based on relative likelihood, determining a best route from the set of valid routes based on a weighted comparison between each route of the set of valid routes and the user-generated route, and utilizing the selected route for control of the autonomous driving feature.
