Abstract
A method and system for providing scan data for decision making in a self-driving vehicle are provided. The self-driving vehicle includes a scanning sensor that scans a space around the self-driving vehicle in consecutive scanning cycles. The method includes receiving a request for scan information associated with a requested segment of space. The method determines whether to wait for a next scan of the requested segment and use scan data from the next scan, or to extract and use scan data from a previous scan of the requested segment. The method also includes processing the scan data to generate the scan information for the requested segment, providing the scan information for the requested segment in response to the request, and operating the self-driving vehicle in accordance with a decision made about a maneuver to be performed by the self-driving vehicle based, at least in part, on the scan information.
