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 1):
An autonomous vehicle comprising:\n at least one sensor arranged to generate data corresponding to a current location of an autonomous vehicle; a positioning system configured to detect the current location of the autonomous vehicle; a communications system configured to exchange data with a roadway model management system, the roadway model management system maintaining a roadway model having a level of detail suitable for autonomous operation of the autonomous vehicle; a computing system including a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:\n retrieve, via the communications system from the roadway model management system, at least a portion of the roadway model corresponding to the current location of the autonomous vehicle; \n identify, based on the data generated by the one or more sensors and the portion of the roadway model corresponding to the current location, whether a discrepancy is present between the portion of the roadway model and the data; and \n responsive to identifying the discrepancy, communicating data corresponding to the discrepancy to a roadway model management system for updating the roadway model.
