AUTOMATED VEHICLE MAP UPDATES BASED ON HUMAN VERIFICATION

摘要

A map-update system (10) to update maps used by an automated vehicle (12) includes an object-detection-device (24), an operator-communication-device (28), and a controller (40). The object-detection-device (24) is used to detect objects proximate to a vehicle (12). The operator-communication-device (28) is used to communicate an inquiry (30) to an operator (20) and detect a response (32) from the operator (20). The controller (40) is in communication with the object-detection-device (24) and the operator-communication-device (28). The controller (40) is configured to navigate the vehicle (12) in accordance with a digitized-map (16), determine when an object (26) detected by the object-detection-device (24) does not correspond to an expected-feature (44) present in the digitized-map (16), output an inquiry (30) regarding the object (26) to the operator (20) via the operator-communication-device (28), and update the digitized- map (16) based on the response (32) from the operator (20).
