1. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
sensor systems to detect characteristics of an operating environment;
a vehicle control system coupled with the sensor systems, the vehicle control system to:
receive an operational parameter to be used by an autonomous vehicle;
determine operational modes and corresponding operational regions based on the received operational parameter;
set a first set of autonomous vehicle parameters based on the received operational parameter;
set a second set of autonomous vehicle parameters based on the first set of autonomous vehicle parameters,
wherein the vehicle control system is further configured to select an appropriate maximum allowable top speed from a table of maximum allowable top speeds having corresponding parameters based on a correspondence of operating conditions with the parameters.
