Apparatus and method transitioning between driving states during navigation for highly automated vechicle

A method for navigation of an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a network, at least one route between a start location and a destination;
• displaying, using processing circuitry, the at least one route on a first screen that allows selection of a first set of routes from the at least one route;
• receiving, via the network, a plurality of characteristics for each of the at least one route, each characteristic of the plurality of characteristics is associated with a measure,
• dividing, using the processing circuitry, a route of the at least one route to generate a plurality of segments based on the plurality of characteristics;
• displaying, using the processing circuitry, the first set of routes, the plurality of characteristics for the first set of routes, the measure and the longest block corresponding to the plurality of characteristics on a second screen;
• and
• displaying, using the processing circuitry, a real-time route selected from the first set of routes on a third screen.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method for navigation of an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a network, at least one route between a start location and a destination;
• displaying the at least one route on a first screen that allows selection of a first set of routes from the at least one route;
• receiving, via the network, a plurality of characteristics for each of the at least one route, each characteristic of the plurality of characteristics is associated with a measure and a longest block within which each characteristic can be performed continuously;
• dividing a route of the at least one route to generate a plurality of segments based on the plurality of characteristics, a first segment is highlighted with a first identifier corresponding to a first characteristic of the plurality of characteristics and a second segment is highlighted with a second identifier corresponding to a second characteristic of the plurality of characteristics;
• displaying the first set of routes, the plurality of characteristics for the first set of routes, the measure and the longest block corresponding to the plurality of characteristics on a second screen;
• and
• displaying a real-time route selected from the first set of routes on a third screen.
