Environmental impact correction platform

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a computer program, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing a computer apparatus to perform a process for updating map data for an autonomous vehicle (AV), the process comprising:

• collecting, using one or a plurality of AV sensors of a first AV, sensor data;
• comparing the sensor data collected against;
• when a difference between the sensor data and the map data is above a predetermined threshold, determining that potential changed data is present in the sensor data;
• generating a proof of work (PoW) block including the potential changed data;
• generating a set of verification blocks for verification of the PoW block;
• collecting, using one or a plurality of AV sensors of a second AV, first verification sensor data;
• comparing the potential changed data with the first verification sensor data;
• and
• when the first verification sensor data corresponds to the potential changed data,
• determining that first verification of the potential changed data is successful,
• generating a first verified map block based on the first verification sensor data, and
• adding the first verified map block to a first verified map blockchain.

A computer apparatus for updating map data for an autonomous vehicle (AV), the computer apparatus comprising:

• a memory that stores instructions, and
• a processor that executes the instructions,
• wherein, when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• collecting, using one or a plurality of AV sensors of a first AV, sensor data;
• comparing the sensor data collected against map data;
• when a difference between the sensor data and the map data is above a predetermined threshold, determining that potential changed data is present in the sensor data;
• generating a proof of work (PoW) block including the potential changed data;
• generating a set of verification blocks for verification of the PoW block;
• collecting, using one or a plurality of AV sensors of a second AV, first verification sensor data;
• comparing the potential changed data with the first verification sensor data;
• and
• when the first verification sensor data corresponds to the potential changed data,
• determining that first verification of the potential changed data is successful,
• generating a first verified map block based on the first verification sensor data, and
• adding the first verified map block to a first verified map blockchain.
