Systems and methods described herein determine an optimal lane trajectory and route for an autonomous vehicle under changing road conditions and forecast autonomous car performance along a route. A road's profile is analyzed to determine a safe lateral lane position. In ice or snow, a vehicle may follow ruts made by previous vehicles, even if following such ruts does not place a vehicle in a lane's center. In warmer weather, a vehicle may drive outside the ruts to avoid risks of aquaplaning. Dynamic road conditions and AV support along a route are used to maximize AV use and to forecast AV performance. A vehicle control system calculates sensor limitations and uses these sensor limitations when calculating which route to select.
