UK stakes claim for lead role in autonomous mapping
Published by Zenzic, the UK’s umbrella organisation for self-driving technology, and national mapping agency Ordnance Survey, the Geodata Report makes the case for common global data and mapping standards across the emerging autonomous sector. It recommends maps with resolution better than 5cm to ensure vehicles can operate in complex environments, including data on curbs, street-level features like lampposts, pedestrian crossings and road markings. Real-time updates on temporary objects such as skips and roadworks should also be a target.
