Abstract
Techniques for determining right of way through an intersection are discussed herein. Routes through the intersection may be associated with respective priorities. The route associated with an inbound lane devoid of yield or stop markers may be determined as being associated with the highest priority. The hierarchy of the other priorities may be organized based on whether the number of times routes associated with each respective priority intersects the route associated with the highest priority. The routes and the priorities are saved in a data structure, and the data structure is transmitted to an autonomous vehicle for controlling the autonomous vehicle through the intersection.
