Global provider of high-definition (HD) maps for autonomous vehicles (AVs) 7643 Here Technologies has opened a research and development facility in Boulder, Colorado. The centre will collaborate with professionals in geospatial engineering, machine learning and data science to develop processes that allow the company’s HD Live Map to self-heal.

This process uses crowdsourced data from live car sensors to validate and update the HD map to help maintain its accuracy. 

Here’s HD map intends to provide overall safety and comfort for autonomous driving. The vehicle relies on the map to localise itself on the road as well as to understand the road environment beyond the range of its near-field sensors for strategic path planning.

The facility will test location for proof of concepts, work with production-ready methods and aim to put the technology into the market.

Toyota enters partnership to build HD maps for AVs from space

Toyota Research Institute-Advanced Development (TRI-AD), technology company Maxar Technologies and NTT Data are working together to build high-definition (HD) maps for autonomous vehicles (AV) using satellite imagery. TRI-AD carried out an analysis, saying that current HD maps cover less than 1% of the global road network and there is a need to broaden the coverage of urban areas and local roads before AVs can become a mainstream mobility technology. A HD map created from satellite imagery would all
