A processing system includes at least one computer processor, which is configured to implement a method that includes receiving crowd-sourced driving path data, map data, and real-time sensor data associated with a roadway. The method includes generating, by the processing system, optimized driving path data for the roadway based on the crowd-sourced path data, the map data, and the sensor data. The method includes providing control signals to control an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle based on the optimized driving path data.
