16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations for route planning for an autonomous vehicle (AV), the operations comprising operations to:
receive, from a user, a first objective for optimizing a route from an origin location to a destination;
receive, from the user, a second objective for optimizing the route from the origin location to the destination;
receive, from the user, a user preference with respect to the first objective and the second objective;
receive, from the user, a slack value that defines a deviation from the first objective to improve the second objective;
determine a route based on the first objective, the second objective, the user preference, and the slack value, and wherein the route includes a move from a first lane segment to a second lane segment;
control the AV to move from the first lane segment to the second lane segment along the route;
receive, from the user, a request for an explanation as to why the second lane segment instead of a third lane segment was taken, wherein the explanation comprises respective descriptors of the first objective, the second objective, and an extent to which the slack value is violated; and
