METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO CONVEY AUTONOMOUS/SEMI-AUTONOMOUS FEATURE AVAILABLE ROADWAYS
First Claim
1. A navigation system, comprising:
- a map database, comprising;
a map layer of autonomous road data generated from compression of three-dimensional spatial data and global positioning data,a plurality of layers of map data,wherein each layer of the plurality of layers includes one of image base data, elevation data, hydrography data, boundaries data, land use area data, and navigation roads data,wherein the plurality of layers and the map layer of autonomous road are georeferenced, aligned, and merged into a navigation map; and
a navigation processor configured todetermine a route for a vehicle to a destination preferring use of autonomous roads according to a setting for preferring use of autonomous roads and based on the navigation map, control the vehicle autonomously along the route based on the navigation map, anddisplay a display map for a vehicle through a navigation display unit including highlighting autonomous roads on the navigation display unit, based on the map layer of autonomous road data, together with the at least one other layer of map data.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for navigation of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a navigation system includes: a map database, and a navigation processor. The map database includes a map layer of autonomous road data, and at least one other layer of map data. The navigation processor is configured to determine a route for a vehicle to a destination preferring use of autonomous roads according to a setting for preferring use of autonomous roads and based on the map layer of autonomous road data and the at least other layer of map data; and display a display map for a vehicle through a navigation display unit including highlighting autonomous roads on the navigation display unit, based on the map layer of autonomous road data, together with the at least one other layer of map data.
