Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for updating an electronic map. The method includes detecting at least one first object by means of a sensor device of a motor vehicle and assigning a position of the motor vehicle, detected by means of a position detecting device of the motor vehicle, to the detected first object. The method also includes generating a first object data set representing the detected first object and the position assigned to the first object, by means of an evaluation device of the motor vehicle. The method further includes deriving a second object data set, representing a second object external to the vehicle, which is different from the first object detected, from the first object data set. The method also includes updating the electronic map by adding map data corresponding to the second object data set to the map or by removing map data contradicting the second object data set from the map by means of a computing device to improve updating of the electronic map.
