AUTOMATIC COLLECTION OF QUALITY CONTROL STATISTICS FOR MAPS USED IN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for generating accurate maps for autonomous vehicles. A map is stored at a computing device associated with a vehicle. The vehicle can be operated in a partially-autonomous mode, where the computing device can generate driving directions for manual execution along a route based on the map. The computing device can be configured to receive and store information related to features and a quality of driving along the route. The map can be updated and quality control statistics can be determined based on the stored information. The updated map can be promoted based on the quality control statistics. In response to promoting the updated map, the computing device can store the promoted map and enable the vehicle to operate in the autonomous-operation mode using the promoted map.
