Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to generating and providing route options for an autonomous vehicle. For example, a user may identify a destination, and in response the vehicle's computer may provide routing options to the user. The routing options may be based on typical navigating considerations such as the total travel time, travel distance, fuel economy, etc. Each routing option may include not only an estimated total time, but also information regarding whether and which portions of the route may be maneuvered under the control of the vehicle alone (fully autonomous), a combination of the vehicle and the driver (semiautonomous), or the driver alone. The time of the longest stretch of driving associated with the autonomous mode as well as map information indicating portions of the routes associated with the type of maneuvering control may also be provided.

Abstract translation: 本公开的方面通常涉及为自主车辆生成和提供路线选择。 例如，用户可以识别目的地，并且作为响应，车辆的计算机可以向用户提供路由选择。 路由选择可以基于典型的导航注意事项，例如总行驶时间，行驶距离，燃料经济性等。每个路线选择不仅可以包括估计的总时间，而且还可以包括关于路线的哪些部分和哪些部分可能是 在车辆单独（完全自主）的控制下，车辆和司机（半自动）的组合或单独的驾驶员进行操纵。 还可以提供与自主模式相关联的最长行驶时间，以及指示与操纵类型的路线相关联的路线的部分的地图信息。
