Sure, but the point is that the car can flag something that doesn't look like the map so a human can review it. ie. closed road, new road, construction marker

That's way less intensive than having to build the whole thing from scratch or having it be fully automated.
Humans are good at exceptions. Let the humans do that while the machines do the rote task of "Yep, road still looks like the map. Nothing to see here."
- harles 5y agoI think there’s way more hand correction needed than people are estimating. Google Maps (the non hd version) employs a small army of 6k contractors [0] to correct way simpler data. Getting cm accurate lane markings and correctly classifying permanent and transient features of a scene is extremely error prone and I would guess at least an order of magnitude more manpower to make this happen at scale.
