1. A system for mapping a directional arrow for use in autonomous vehicle navigation, the system comprising:
at least one processor included in a server and programmed to:
receive at least one location identifier associated with a directional arrow detected by a vehicle located remotely from the server, the direction arrow being on a surface of a road, and the at least one location identifier being transmitted to the server from the vehicle located remotely from the server;
receive at least one directional indicator associated with the detected directional arrow, the at least one directional indicator being transmitted to the server from the vehicle located remotely from the server;
associate the detected directional arrow with a corresponding road segment;
update an autonomous vehicle road navigation model relative to the corresponding road segment based on the at least one location identifier and based on the at least one directional indicator associated with the detected directional arrow, wherein the autonomous vehicle road navigation model includes at least one target trajectory for a vehicle to follow along the corresponding road segment, the at least one target trajectory being related to the detected directional arrow; and
automatically distribute the updated autonomous vehicle road navigation model to a plurality of autonomous vehicles via one or more networks through one or more wireless communication paths, wherein at least one of the plurality of autonomous vehicles is configured to implement at least one navigational action based on the updated autonomous vehicle road navigation model.
