SYSTEMS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE ROUTE SELECTION AND EXECUTION
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a hardware-based processing unit; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising;
an input-interface module that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, obtains factor data indicating one or more factors relevant to determining a vehicle travel route; and
a route-generation module comprising a route-complexity sub-module, wherein;
the route-complexity sub-module, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determines, based on the factor data, one or more route-complexity indexes corresponding to one or more respective optional routes; and
the route-generation module, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determines the vehicle travel route based on at least the route-complexity indexes.

Abstract
A system for determining and executing an autonomous-vehicle vehicle travel route, including a hardware-based processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The storage medium includes an input-interface module that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, obtains factor data indicating factors relevant to determining a vehicle travel route. The storage medium also includes a route-generation module comprising a route-complexity sub-module. The route-complexity sub-module determines, based on the factor data, route-complexity indexes corresponding to respective optional routes. The route-generation module determines the vehicle travel route based on the route-complexity indexes. The storage in various embodiments includes other sub-modules associated with other elements, such as autonomous-driving safety, comfort, stress, pollution, scenery, or infrastructure-accessibility, for determining and executing an autonomous-driving travel route. In some embodiments, the storage includes an autonomous-driving perceptions module and an autonomous-driving control module for modifying vehicle functions in executing the autonomous-driving travel route.
