NVIDIA DRIVE® Map is an advanced mapping platform crafted to support the utmost levels of vehicle autonomy while enhancing safety measures. By merging precise ground truth mapping with the agility and scale of AI-driven fleet-sourced mapping, it achieves remarkable results. The system utilizes four distinct localization layers—camera, lidar, radar, and GNSS—ensuring the necessary redundancy and flexibility for sophisticated AI drivers. With a focus on exceptional accuracy, the ground truth map engine generates DRIVE Maps by integrating a variety of sensors, including cameras, radars, lidars, and differential GNSS/IMU, all captured through NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion data collection vehicles. It delivers an impressive accuracy of better than 5 cm, particularly in high autonomy scenarios (L3/L4), in environments like highways and urban areas. Designed for rapid operation and global adaptability, DRIVE Map leverages both ground truth and fleet-sourced information, encapsulating the shared knowledge of millions of vehicles on the road. This innovative approach not only enhances mapping precision but also contributes to the evolving landscape of autonomous driving technology.
