1. A computer system for communicating with an autonomous vehicle, the computer system comprising a memory and at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to:
receive, from a first vehicle, data corresponding to a road segment on which the first vehicle travelled;
generate an overall indication of a condition of the road segment based upon the data corresponding to the road segment received from the first vehicle;
determine a recommendation for one or more autonomous operation features of an autonomous vehicle while travelling the road segment based at least in part upon the overall indication of the condition of the road segment; and
communicate the recommendation to the autonomous vehicle when approaching the road segment, the recommendation includes a mode recommendation to change vehicle operation from (a) a manual mode to an autonomous mode, or (b) an autonomous mode to a manual mode.
