Generalizing a model to different domains

A method for generating a map for use in navigating a host vehicle relative to a road segment, the method comprising:

• receiving drive information from a vehicle that previously traversed the road segment, wherein the drive information includes at least one road topography indicator;
• providing a representation of the at least one road topography indicator to a trained model, wherein the trained model is configured to infer, based on the representation of the at least one road topography indicator, a driving protocol indicator and provide the driving protocol indicator as an output;
• based on the driving protocol indicator, generating a representation of at least one driving convention associated with the driving protocol indicator and storing the representation of the at least one driving convention in the map;
• and
• distributing the map to at least one host vehicle navigation system for use in navigating the host vehicle along the road segment relative to the stored representation of the at least one driving convention.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for generating a map for use in navigating a host vehicle relative to a road segment, the method comprising:

• receiving drive information from a vehicle that previously traversed the road segment, wherein the drive information includes at least one road topography indicator;
• providing a representation of the at least one road topography indicator to a trained model, wherein the trained model is configured to infer, based on the representation of the at least one road topography indicator, a driving protocol indicator and provide the driving protocol indicator as an output;
• based on the driving protocol indicator, generating a representation of at least one driving convention associated with the driving protocol indicator and storing the representation of the at least one driving convention in the map;
• and
• distributing the map to at least one host vehicle navigation system for use in navigating the host vehicle along the road segment relative to the stored representation of the at least one driving convention.
