AUTOMATIC DRIVING ROUTE PLANNING APPLICATION
First Claim
1. A system for determining a route to a specific destination from computer generated map data for a vehicle configured to operate at least partially in an autonomous driving mode, comprising:
- a storage for storing map dataan input for receiving data from one or more navigational data sources;
a processing apparatus, operatively coupled to the input and storage, wherein the processing apparatus is configured with routing means foraggregating the data to determine a location of the vehicle and incorporate the position with the map data,processing the map data to determine a plurality of route segments and to calculate an autonomous driving value for each of the plurality of segments from the determined vehicle location, anddetermining an optimal route by minimizing a distance between a start position and a destination position and maximizing the autonomous driving value for at least one of the route segments; and
a display, operatively coupled to the processing apparatus for displaying the determined optimal route.

Abstract
A method and system is provided for a semi-autonomous vehicle to have optional routes that vary in an amount of autonomous driving offered. The system performs processes including aggregating data from various sources to thereby position and orient the vehicle, assigning an autonomous driving value to different route segments, determining an optimal route by minimizing a distance between a start position and a destination position and maximizing the percent autonomous value assigned, and displaying the optimal route.
