US Patent 11447134 Vehicle route modification to improve vehicle location information

An illustrative example embodiment of a system for controlling a vehicle includes at least one sensor configured to detect at least one localization reference and at least one processor configured to determine a location of the vehicle with a first precision based on an indication from the at least one sensor while the vehicle is traveling in a first lane of a roadway. The processor is configured to determine that at least one characteristic of the first precision is below a threshold and, based on the at least one characteristic being below the threshold, maneuver the vehicle to a second lane of the roadway.
