Technology for situational modification of autonomous vehicle operation

A system in a vehicle for facilitating operation of the vehicle, comprising:

• a memory storing a set of computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor interfacing with the user interface and the memory, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the processor to:
• receive, from at least one sensor external to the vehicle, a set of sensor data,
• analyze the set of sensor data to determine that an emergency event has occurred, and
• in response to analyzing the set of sensor data:
• determine a vehicle operation regulation associated with a current location of the vehicle,
• determine a vehicle operation modification to direct the vehicle to operate in violation of the vehicle operation regulation to enable the emergency event to be addressed,
• generate, based on the vehicle operation modification, a set of vehicle control instructions for the vehicle, and
• operate the vehicle via executing the set of vehicle control instructions to cause the vehicle to violate the vehicle operation regulation to enable the emergency event to be addressed.
