Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an autonomous vehicle and methods of operating an autonomous vehicle. A sensor for the autonomous vehicle generates sensor data for a current location of the autonomous vehicle. A positioning system generates data for identifying the current location of the vehicle. A computing system of the autonomous vehicle identifies a portion of a roadway model which corresponds to the current location of the vehicle. The roadway model has a level of detail suitable for autonomous operation. The computing system identifies whether a discrepancy is present between the identified portion of the roadway model and the sensor data. When the computing system identifies the discrepancy, the computing system communicates data which corresponds to the discrepancy to a roadway model management system configured to update the roadway model.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of operating an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:\n generating, via at least one sensor provided on an autonomous vehicle, sensor data for a current location of an autonomous vehicle; identifying, based on data from a positioning system for the autonomous vehicle, the current location of the autonomous vehicle; identifying, via a computing system of the autonomous vehicle, a portion of a roadway model which corresponds to the current location of the autonomous vehicle, the roadway model having a level of detail suitable for autonomous operation; identifying, via the computing system, whether a discrepancy is present between the identified portion of the roadway model and the sensor data; and responsive to identifying the discrepancy, communicating data which corresponds to the discrepancy to a roadway model management system configured to update the roadway model.
