Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product aspects for testing autonomous vehicle intent using protolanes. For example, the method includes selecting a first lane segment of a roadway within a geonet, wherein the geonet comprises a plurality of lane segments. It is determined that the first lane segment corresponds to a protolane of a set of protolanes, wherein the protolane is associated with one or more additional lane segments of the plurality of lane segments. The protolane is associated with the first lane segment based on the determination that the first lane segment corresponds to the protolane.
