Patent attributes
Methods and systems are described that enable vehicle routing based on availability of radar-localization objects. A request to navigate to a destination is received, and at least two possible routes to the destination are determined. Availabilities of radar-localization objects for the possible routes are determined, and a route is selected based on the availabilities of the radar-localization objects. Furthermore, while traveling along a route, the vehicle is localized based on radar detections of radar-localization objects. A radar-localization quality of the localizing is monitored, and a determination is made that the radar-localization quality has dropped or will drop. Based on the radar-localization quality dropping, the route is modified and/or an operation of a radar module is adjusted. In this way, availabilities of radar-localization objects may be used to select an optimal route and to adjust a current navigation along a route to minimize driver takeover.
