OPERATING SYSTEM AND PLATFORM

Systems and methods for route building and trip planning with respect to coordinating autonomous and remote driving. Route planning data including a start location is obtained. Potential routes are identified and then optimized based on availability of autonomous driving and remote driving at different locations among the potential routes. The optimization may further account for user status with respect to remote driving service availability for the user, user preferences, or both. The optimized routes may be presented to the user for selection. A trip may be commenced based on one of the optimized routes, where the vehicle switches modes of operation including autonomous operation and remote driving operation according to the optimized route of the trip.
