1. A method for operating an autonomous vehicle, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
- collecting sensor information from one or more sensors of a human-driven vehicle as the human-driven vehicle is driven in a given region;
determining, from the sensor information, one or more road segments which have a road condition with a sufficiently high likelihood of impairing autonomous vehicles in safely navigating through the one or more road segments; and
communicating information about the one or more road segments to one or more autonomous vehicles.

Abstract
Sensor information is collected from human driven vehicles which are driven in a given region. From the sensor information, a road condition is detected on a road segment, where the road condition has a sufficiently high likelihood of impairing autonomous vehicles in safely navigating through the one or more road segments. Information about the one or more road segments is communicated to the one or more autonomous vehicles.
