The maps Google uses for their self-driving cars, as I understand it, require constant maintenance. Also just the amount of data is huge. If this weren't the case, surely they would have driven in many other places by now?
I would actually love for someone who works at Google to chime in here. It'd be great to find out their system is more robust than I think it is.
