Silicon Valley Company DeepMap Announces ‘RoadMemory' a Scalable Mapping Service for Autonomous VehiclesAuthor: Eric WalzSilicon Valley mapping startup DeepMap Inc announced its new crowd-sourced mapping service for autonomous vehicles today called "RoadMemory". DeepMap's RoadMemory enables automakers to accelerate the creation and deployment of large-scale digital maps using crowdsourced data collected from fleets of passenger vehicles and trucks. RoadMemory will automatically build updated maps using crowdsourced data collected from vehicle sensors, such as cameras, radar and lidar. DeepMap says its HDR solves a critical piece of the puzzle for companies seeking to validate and improve crowd-sourced map data. The company also offers efficient map data storage which supports low latency communication between vehicles and the cloud.
