1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, by a computing system, one or more scenarios associated with a road segment based on sensor data captured by one or more vehicles;
determining, by the computing system, a threshold similarity between the road segment and a road segment type based on the one or more scenarios associated with the road segment matching a threshold number of scenarios included in a scenario type associated with the road segment type, wherein the matching is determined based on a multi-level scenarios taxonomy that classifies a plurality of scenario types with respective scenarios, wherein a first level of the multi-level scenarios taxonomy includes a set of the scenarios included in the scenario type and a second level of the multi-level scenarios taxonomy includes a subset of the set of the scenarios;
classifying, by the computing system, the road segment as the road segment type based on the threshold similarity;
providing, by the computing system, information describing the classified road segment and the scenario type to a computing device of a vehicle; and
causing, by the computing system, control of an operation of the vehicle based on the information.
