Abstract
The subject matter described in this specification is directed to a computer system and techniques for operating an autonomous vehicle (AV) based on the availability of navigation information. In one example, while the AV is in an autonomous mode, first data is obtained from a first sensor and second data is obtained from a second sensor. A location of the AV is determined based on the first data and the second data. If navigational information is not available for the determined location, an alert is provided that the AV will exit the autonomous mode.
