A method of determining a smooth reference line for navigating an autonomous vehicle in a manner similar to human driving is disclosed. A high density map is used to generate a centerline for a lane of roadway. Using the centerline, a number of sample points is generated that is related to a curvature of the centerline. Adjustment points are generated at each sample point, a few on either side of the centerline at each sample point. Candidate points at a sample point include the adjustment points and sample point. A least cost path is determined through each of the candidate points at each of the sample points. Path cost is based an angle of approach and departure through a candidate point, and a distance of the candidate point from the centerline.
