Abstract: A method comprises receiving a first set of data associated with a plurality of retroreflective features from a vehicle; retrieving a digital map comprising vectorized data associated with the plurality of retroreflective features and a location associated with the plurality of retroreflective features, the map previously generated based on monitoring a second set of data retrieved from a sensor of a second vehicle where the second set of data is associated with the plurality of retroreflective features near a road being driven by the second vehicle; generating a score for each retroreflective feature indicating a match between each retroreflective feature as indicated within the digital map and a location of each retroreflective feature as identified within the first set of data; and localizing the vehicle.

Abstract: A method comprises monitoring, by a processor, using a sensor of a first vehicle, data associated with a retroreflective feature near a road being driven by the first vehicle; vectorizing, by the processor, the data associated with the retroreflective feature; generating, by the processor, a digital map including vectorized data associated with the retroreflective feature and a location associated with the retroreflective feature; receiving, by the processor, data associated with the retroreflective feature from a second vehicle; and executing, by the processor, a localization protocol to identify a location of the second vehicle using the digital map.

Abstract: Systems and methods of automatic correction of map data for autonomous vehicle navigation are disclosed. One or more servers can receive, from a first autonomous vehicle traveling on a road, a first correction to map data identifying a location in the map data; generate a modified parameter of the map data based on the first correction and a second correction identifying the location, the second correction received from a second autonomous vehicle traveling on the road; update the map data based on the modified parameter; and provide the updated map data to the first autonomous vehicle.
