1. A method of autonomous vehicle control, comprising:
generating a routing that corresponds to a path on which an autonomous vehicle is to be navigated from a current position to a destination, wherein the routing includes a first set of vehicle operations with which the autonomous vehicle is controlled along the path;
determining a value that indicates an expected level of energy consumption of the autonomous vehicle traveling along the path;
obtaining, in response to determining that the value is not within a range, a second set of vehicle operations by modifying the first set of vehicle operations; and
causing the autonomous vehicle to be driven to the destination using the second set of vehicle operations.
