Self-Healing Maps for Autonomous Driving Sanjay Sood GPU Conference May 10, 2017
HERE Technologies 200 Countries mapped 7,000+ Employees in 56 countries focused on delivering the world s best map and location services Millions of changes made to the map every day Today, HERE provides services to nearly all global OEM brands as well as many market leading brands such Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook etc. 30+ In-car navigation systems in Europe 4of5 and N America use HERE maps Years of experience transforming mapping technology
HERE Technologies We are making sense of the world through the lens of location, helping people achieve better outcomes through data-driven location solutions
Maps for cars by cars
HERE s HD Live Map solves several major problems Local knowledge of the rules of the road Enhanced sensor functionality for contextual awareness of the environment Planning of vehicle control maneuvers beyond sensor visibility Precise positioning for lateral & longitudinal control
The industry has evolved, providing new possibilities for cars Connected Intelligent
Building the high definition map GPS Antenna 41.3º 700,000 Points Per Second LiDAR Proprietary cameras 96.4 MP every 6 meters Novatel GPS/INS
A high definition, continuously updated map requires the crowd Harness crowdsourced sensor data High definition map For near realtime updates
11 Map Machine learning will be critical for self-driving cars
