Abstract
In one embodiment, a system monitors states of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) using a number of sensors mounted on the ADV. The system perceives a driving environment surrounding the ADV using at least a portion of the sensors. The system analyzes the states in view of the driving environment to determine a real-time traffic condition at a point in time. The system determines whether the real-time traffic condition of the driving environment matches at least a predetermined traffic condition. The system transmits data concerning the real-time traffic condition to a remote server over a network to allow the remote server to generate an updated map having real-time traffic information, in response to determining the real-time traffic condition is unknown. In response to receiving the updated map, the system plans and controls the ADV based on the updated map.
