Abstract
The present technology provides a system that can update aspects of an authoritative map portion stored on an autonomous vehicle using low-resolution data from the at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle, and therefore avoids the need for dispatching the special purpose mapping vehicle for these updates. The captured low-resolution data can be compared with the high-resolution map portion to determine that the sensor data reflects a feature in a way that is inconsistent with how that feature is represented in the authoritative map portion. The sensor data can then be used to relabel the authoritative map portion.
