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:
- linking, by one or more computing devices, a memory location of attributes of a map zone in a contiguous region of memory and updates to the attributes in a parallel contiguous region of memory;
- and
- returning, by the one or more computing devices based on a request for an attribute of the attributes, either the attribute or an update to the attribute responsive to the request.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for causing a computing system to perform operations comprising:
- linking, by one or more computing devices, a memory location of attributes of a map zone in a contiguous region of memory and updates to the attributes in a parallel contiguous region of memory;
- and
- returning, by the one or more computing devices based on a request for an attribute of the attributes, either the attribute or an update to the attribute responsive to the request.
A computing system comprising:
- a memory configured to store attributes and updates to attributes of a map zone in contiguous regions of the memory;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- link the memory location of the attributes and the updates to the attributes;
- receive a request for an attribute of the attributes;
- determine which of the attribute or an update to the attribute to return;
- and
- return, based on the request, either of the attribute or the update to the attribute.
