  • Publication number: 20230100014
    Abstract: Techniques relating to monitoring map consistency are described. In an example, a monitoring component associated with a vehicle can receive sensor data associated with an environment in which the vehicle is positioned. The monitoring component can generate, based at least in part on the sensor data, an estimated map of the environment, wherein the estimated map is encoded with policy information for driving within the environment. The monitoring component can then compare first information associated with a stored map of the environment with second information associated with the estimated map to determine whether the estimated map and the stored map are consistent. Component(s) associated with the vehicle can then control the object based at least in part on results of the comparing.

  • Publication number: 20220326023
    Abstract: Techniques for verifying a reliability of map data are discussed herein. In some examples, map data can be used by a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, to traverse an environment. Sensor data (e.g., image data, lidar data, etc.) can be received from a sensor associated with a vehicle and may be used to generate an estimated map and confidence values associated with the estimated map. When the sensor data is image data, images data from multiple perspectives or different time instances may be combined to generate the estimated map. The estimated map may be compared to a stored map or to a proposed vehicle trajectory or corridor to determine a reliability of the stored map data.
