A method comprising:
- determining, based on aggregated drive data from a plurality of sources, route costs for a plurality of potential driving routes for a vehicle based on reliability of an automated driving feature or driver assistance feature;
- selecting a route of the one or more potential driving routes based on the route costs;
- and
- providing information about the route to a driver, automated driving system, or driver assistance system.
A system comprising:
- a cost component configured to determine, based on aggregated drive data from a plurality of sources, route costs for a plurality of potential driving routes for a vehicle based on reliability of an automated driving feature or driver assistance feature;
- a selection component configured to select a route of the one or more potential driving routes based on the route costs;
- and
- a notification component configured to provide information about the route to a driver, automated driving system, or driver assistance system.
Computer readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to:
- determine, based on aggregated drive data from a plurality of sources, route costs for a plurality of potential driving routes for a vehicle based on reliability of an automated driving feature or driver assistance feature;
- select a route of the one or more potential driving routes based on the route costs;
- and
- provide information about the route to a driver, automated driving system, or driver assistance system.
