Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product aspects for enabling providing map updates to an autonomous vehicle (AV). The system can has four features that can (1) provide live map updates, (2) provide a mechanism to optimize map updates, (3) utilize AV sensors to provide local map updates and integrate into the broader map update system, and (4) provide a mechanism to provide low latency updates.
Claims20
A computer implemented method comprising:
- generating, by one or more computing devices of an autonomous vehicle (AV), a local map update document for a map zone based on AV sensor data indicating road conditions of the map zone;
- receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a map update document for the map zone, wherein the map update document contains attributes of the map zone;
- applying, by the one or more computing devices, more restrictive of the data in the local map update document or the attributes in the map update document to a base map of the AV to generate an updated map based on a conflict between the data and the attributes;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, the updated map to one or more downstream modules of the AV configured to use the updated map to operate the AV.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for causing a computing system to perform operations comprising:
- generating, by one or more computing devices of an autonomous vehicle (AV), a local map update document for a map zone based on AV sensor data indicating road conditions of the map zone;
- receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a map update document for the map zone, wherein the map update document contains attributes of the map zone;
- applying, by the one or more computing devices, more restrictive of the data in the local map update document or the attributes in the map update document to a base map of the AV to generate an updated map based on a conflict between the data and the attributes;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, the updated map to one or more downstream modules of the AV configured to use the updated map to operate the AV.
2 more elements
A computing system comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- one or more processors of an autonomous vehicle (AV), coupled to the memory, configured to process the stored instructions to:
- generate a local map update document for a map zone based on AV sensor data indicating road conditions of the map zone;
- receive a map update document for the map zone, wherein the map update document contains attributes of the map zone;
- apply more restrictive of the data in the local map update document or the attributes in the map update document to a base map of the AV to generate an updated map based on a conflict between the data and the attributes;
- and
- transmit the updated map to one or more downstream modules of the AV configured to use the updated map to operate the AV.
