Abstract
Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for autonomous vehicle operation using altered traffic regulations. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, request data that represents a request to use altered traffic regulations. The processor determines a current location of one or more autonomous vehicles associated with the request. The processor determines that an authority associated with the processor governs at least a portion of a road network associated with the request. The processor determines resolution of the request, wherein determining the resolution is based at least in part on a determination that the authority associated with the processor governs the associated portion of the road network associated with the request. The processor generates resolution data representing the resolution and transmits the resolution data.
