Abstract
A method includes of routing an autonomous vehicle includes receiving information obtained from a camera on a second vehicle distinct from the autonomous vehicle. The method includes automatically identifying a road condition using image analysis of the information received from the camera on the second vehicle. The method includes receiving a request to route the autonomous vehicle from a first location to a second location; and in response to the request: generating a cost model for routing the autonomous vehicle, wherein the cost model includes a cost of the road condition automatically identified from the information received from the camera on the second vehicle; selecting a route from the first location to the second location in accordance with the cost model; and routing an autonomous vehicle in accordance with the selected route.
