Abstract
A method may include obtaining input information relating to an environment in which an autonomous vehicle (AV) operates. The input information may describe a state of the AV, an operation of the AV within the environment, a property of the environment, or an object included in the environment. The method may include setting up a traffic rule profile for the AV that specifies societal traffic practices corresponding to a location of the environment. The method may include identifying a first traffic rule relevant to the AV based on the obtained input information and determining a first decision corresponding to the traffic rule profile and the first traffic rule. The method may include sending an instruction to a control system of the AV, the instruction describing a given operation of the AV responsive to the traffic rule profile and the first traffic rule according to the first decision.
