Abstract:

Techniques for generating and validating map data that may be used by a vehicle to traverse an environment are described herein. The techniques may include receiving sensor data representing an environment and receiving map data indicating a traffic control annotation. The traffic control annotation may be associated, as projected data, with the sensor data based at least in part on a position or orientation associated with a vehicle. Based at least in part on the association, the map data may be updated and sent to a fleet of vehicles. Additionally, based at least in part on the association the vehicle may determine to trust the sensor data more than the map data while traversing the environment.
