Abstract
A method of a vehicle obtaining sensor data originating at one or more of other vehicles includes receiving input from an operator or system within the vehicle, and generating a request for the sensor data based on the input. The request specifies one or more parameters and the one or more parameters include a location at which the sensor data is obtained. The method also includes sending the request for the sensor data, receiving the sensor data, and processing the sensor data. The processing includes providing the sensor data to the operator or the system within the vehicle based on the input. A central server includes an interface to receive sensor data and parameters from one or more vehicles according to vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication. A processor generates a digital map from the sensor data. The digital map includes a layer for each type of the sensor data.
