Abstract
A system for mapping a lane mark for use in autonomous vehicle navigation is provided. The system includes at least one processor programmed to: receive two or more location identifiers associated with a detected lane mark; associate the detected lane mark with a corresponding road segment; update an autonomous vehicle road navigation model relative to the corresponding road segment based on the two or more location identifiers associated with the detected lane mark; and distribute the updated autonomous vehicle road navigation model to a plurality of autonomous vehicles.
