1. A method of facilitating optimal route selection for autonomous user equipment (UE) in a network, the method comprising:
identifying an initial route for the autonomous UE, wherein identifying the initial route includes identifying at least one geospatial hex bin and at least one associated node along the initial route;
identifying at least one flow quality of service (QoS) value, wherein the at least one flow QoS value comprises a priority of at least one service;
identifying the at least one geospatial hex bin and the at least one associated node with the at least one flow QoS value greater than an operator defined threshold;
marking the identified at least one geospatial hex bin and the at least one associated node as an exclusion zone; and
calculating a first revised optimal route, wherein the first revised optimal route excludes the exclusion zone.
