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:
- categorizing, by one or more computing devices of an autonomous vehicle (AV), each of a map update document for a map zone, a local map update document for the map zone, and user input data related to the map zone based on prioritization levels, wherein the map update document contains attributes of the map zone, and wherein the local map update document includes data obtained via sensors of the AV and indicates road conditions of the map zone;
- and
- updating, by the one or more computing devices, a base map with information from each of the map update document, the local map update document, and the user input data based on the prioritization levels to obtain an updated map.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for causing a computing system to perform operations comprising:
- categorizing, by one or more computing devices of an autonomous vehicle (AV), each of a map update document for a map zone, a local map update document for the map zone, and user input data related to the map zone based on prioritization levels, wherein the map update document contains attributes of the map zone, and wherein the local map update document includes data obtained via sensors of the AV and indicates road conditions of the map zone;
- and
- updating, by the one or more computing devices, a base map with information from each of the map update document, the local map update document, and the user input data based on the prioritization levels to obtain an updated map.
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:
- categorize each of a map update document for a map zone, a local map update document for the map zone, and user input data related to the map zone based on prioritization levels, wherein the map update document contains attributes of the map zone, and wherein the local map update document includes data obtained via sensors of the AV and indicates road conditions of the map zone;
- and
- update a base map with information from each of the map update document, the local map update document, and the user input data based on the prioritization levels to obtain an updated map.
