  • Publication number: 20200378776
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine at least one potential route for navigating a vehicle within a geographic region. A score that measures a comfort level associated with the potential route can be determined, wherein the score is determined based on at least one sensor map that segments the geographic region into a grid of cells, and wherein the comfort level for the potential route is determined based at least in part on cells through which the vehicle travels while navigating along the potential route. A determination is made whether to use the potential route for navigating the vehicle based at least in part on the score.

  • Publication number: 20200379484
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine sensor data collected by a fleet of vehicles while navigating a geographic region, the sensor data including sensor readings generated at least in part by a surface interaction between one or more tires of each of the fleet of vehicles and a road surface of the geographic region. A sensor map representing the geographic region can be determined. The map can segment the geographic region into a grid of cells. Instances of the collected sensor data can be associated with cells in the grid of cells. A corresponding fingerprint can be determined for one or more cells in the grid of cells based at least in part on a plurality of instances of sensor data associated with the cell.

  • Publication number: 20200378766
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine one or more sensor measurements captured by one or more sensors of a vehicle while navigating a geographic region. A sensor map representing the geographic region can be determined. The map can segment the geographic region into a grid of cells. A plurality of cells in the grid are associated with one or more corresponding sensor fingerprints. A threshold level of correlation can be determined between a captured sensor measurement and at least one sensor fingerprint associated with a cell in the grid. The vehicle can be localized within the geographic region based at least in part on the threshold level of correlation between the captured sensor measurement and the at least one sensor fingerprint of the cell.
