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.
Claims16
A method for operating a vehicle, the method comprising:
- storing data identifying a set of static objects which are present in an area of a road segment;
- autonomously operating the vehicle to travel on the road segment by:
- collecting sensor data of a scene that includes the area of the road segment, using a sensor set of the vehicle;
- determining, from the collected sensor data and the stored data, that a second object that is present in the area of the road segment is a non-static object;
- and
- tracking the second object as the vehicle progresses on the road segment, using the sensor set without tracking any object in the set of static objects.

A computer system comprising:
- a memory to store a set of instructions;
- one or more processors to use the instructions to:
- store data that identifies a set of static objects which are present in an area of a road segment;
- autonomously operate a vehicle to travel on the road segment by:
- collecting sensor data of a scene that includes the area of the road segment, using a sensor set of the vehicle;
- determining, from the collected sensor data and the stored data, that a second object that is present in the area of the road segment is a non-static object;
- and
- tracking the second object as the vehicle progresses on the road segment, using the sensor set without tracking any object in the set of static objects.
