1. A method comprising:
generating vehicle motion control operations to cause an autonomous vehicle to navigate a routing between a current location of the autonomous vehicle and a destination;
predicting an energy consumption rate for the routing; and
modifying the vehicle motion control operations while the autonomous vehicle navigates the routing to cause an actual energy consumption rate of the autonomous vehicle over the routing to be less than the predicted energy consumption rate.
