Problems solved by technology

With Level 2 autonomy, the vehicle is able to control steering, speed, and braking in limited situations (for example, while driving on the highway), but still requires the operator to be alert and ready to take over, as well as handle any issues such as lane changes or turning
Starting with level 3 autonomy, the vehicle can manage most operating variables, including monitoring the surrounding environment, but still requires the operator to remain vigilant and take over when encountering a situation that the vehicle cannot handle

Abstract

A relative atlas graph is generated to store mapping data used by an autonomous vehicle. The relative atlas graph may be generated for a geographical area based on observations collected from the geographical area, and may include element nodes corresponding to elements detected from the observations along with edges that connect pairs of element nodes and define relative poses between the elements for connected pairs of element nodes.

Description

Background technique [0001] As computing and vehicle technology continue to advance, features related to autonomous driving become more powerful and widely available, enabling control of vehicles in a wider range of situations. For cars, for example, the automotive industry typically adopts the SAE international standard J3016, which specifies 6 levels of autonomous driving. Vehicles without autonomy are designated Level 0, while vehicles with Level 1 autonomy control steering or speed (but not both), allowing the operator to perform most vehicle functions. With Level 2 autonomy, the vehicle is able to control steering, speed, and braking in limited situations (for example, while driving on the highway), but still requires the operator to be alert and ready to take over, as well as handle any issues such as lane changes or turns etc. Starting with level 3 autonomy, the vehicle can manage most operating variables, including monitoring the surrounding environment, but the oper...
