US 2022/0036729 A1 · ENHANCED HIGH DEFINITION MAPS FOR A VEHICLE

Abstract

System and techniques for enhanced electronic navigation maps for a vehicle are described herein. A set of map tiles may be received at a vehicle component from a remote entity. Sensor derived data that has a locality corresponding to a map tile in the set of map tiles may be obtained. A field-programmable gate array of the vehicle may then be invoked to combine the sensor derived data and the map tile to create a modified map tile. The modified map tile may be communicated to a control system of the vehicle.

Claims27

Dependent claims

A device for a road side unit (RSU), the device comprising:

a sensor;
a memory including instructions;
and
processing circuitry that, when in operation, is configured by the instructions to:
identify a map tile for a vehicle;
create sensor derived data, using data obtained from the sensor, that has a locality corresponding to the map tile;
and
transmit the sensor derived data and the map tile to the vehicle to enable the vehicle to combine the sensor derived data and the map tile to create a modified map tile, and use the modified map tile in a control system of the vehicle.
