In one embodiment, a computer system generates a first vehicular path based on map information. The system collects data points representing geographical coordinates of vehicles that drove on a vehicular path lane at different points in time. The system segments the first vehicular path into path segments based on the collected data points. For each of the path segments, the system applies a smoothing function to select a subset of the data points that are within a predetermined proximity of the corresponding path segment and calculates a segment reference point to represent the path segment by combining the selected data points. The segment reference points of the path segments of the first vehicular path are interpolated to generate a second vehicular path such that the second vehicular path is used as a reference line to control ADVs driving on the first vehicular path.
