From their website https://www.deepmap.ai/ https://www.deepmap.ai/ it seems they are focusing on high-definition, centimeter-accuracy maps. Why is that important? It seems with a rough map and training, a robot can find its destination.
- sorenjan 9y agoThis might have changed since it's been a few years, but I think Google used to use high resolution 3D maps together with LIDAR on their cars to do accurate positioning. If I understood it correctly, it was basically a 3D pattern matching.
- CardenB 9y agoYour assumption is wrong. It's still really difficult for vehicles to navigate without high definition maps.
- obmelvin 9y agoTraditional maps help a driver get from A to B over a long distance with the user being responsible for the details in between. These types of 3D lidar style maps are meant so the car knows detailed information about roads to inform minute details about the precise section of road to take, etc.
