Abstract
A method for autonomous path planning triggered by freeway rubbernecking includes obtaining gaze directions of drivers of a plurality of connected vehicles in a region of a road. The method also includes determining whether an average speed of the plurality of connected vehicles in the region is less than a predetermined speed. The method further includes controlling mobility of one or more of the plurality of connected vehicles in response to determining that the gaze directions of one or more drivers of the plurality of connected vehicles deviate from the moving direction of the connected vehicles and determining that the average speed of the connected vehicles is less than the predetermined speed.
