Abstract
A system to use submaps to control operation of a vehicle is disclosed. A storage system may be provided with a vehicle to store a collection of submaps that represent a geographic area where the vehicle may be driven. A programmatic interface may be provided to receive submaps and submap updates independently of other submaps.
Claims21
A method for autonomously operating a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining sensor data collected by the vehicle traversing an area of a road segment;
- accessing data, determined from sensor data previously captured from the area of the road segment, to determine a set of static objects;
- and
- processing the sensor data collected by the vehicle to determine one or more objects that are present in the traversed area, including reducing a quantity of sensor data that is processed based on the accessed data that identifies the set of static objects.

A computer system comprising:
- a memory to store a set of instructions;
- one or more processors to use the set of instructions to:
- obtain sensor data collected by the vehicle traversing an area of a road segment;
- access data, determined from sensor data previously captured from the area of the road segment, to determine a set of static objects;
- and
- process the sensor data collected by the vehicle to determine one or more objects, including reducing a quantity of sensor data that is processed based on the accessed data that identifies the set of static objects.
