METHOD FOR CHECKING A DIGITAL MAP OF AN ENVIRONMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18501298 titled 'METHOD FOR CHECKING A DIGITAL MAP OF AN ENVIRONMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for checking a digital map of a motor vehicle's environment using an out-of-vehicle checking system and environment sensor data.

  • The digital map of the motor vehicle's environment is transmitted to an out-of-vehicle checking system via a communication network.
  • The motor vehicle receives an out-of-vehicle check result of the digital map from the checking system.
  • The motor vehicle checks the digital map based on environment sensor data from the vehicle's environment sensor system to determine an in-vehicle check result.
  • The out-of-vehicle check result is compared with the in-vehicle check result to ascertain a comparison result.
  • At least one action is determined to be carried out by the motor vehicle based on the comparison result.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for checking a digital map of an environment of a motor vehicle. The method includes: transmitting the digital map by the motor vehicle to an out-of-vehicle checking system via a communication network in order to check the digital map by means of the checking system; receiving, by the motor vehicle, an out-of-vehicle check result of the digital map from the checking system via the communication network; checking the digital map by the motor vehicle on the basis of environment sensor data representing the environment of the motor vehicle from an environment sensor system of the motor vehicle in order to ascertain an in-vehicle check result; comparing the out-of-vehicle check result with the in-vehicle check result in order to ascertain a comparison result; ascertaining at least one action to be carried out by the motor vehicle on the basis of the comparison result.
