Abstract
Techniques for validating operation of vehicle systems using map data are described herein. The techniques may include receiving sensor data associated with an environment in which a vehicle is operating and generating estimated map data based at least in part on the sensor data. Additionally, stored map data may be received and compared with the estimated map data. If it is determined that an inconsistency exists between the estimated map data and the stored map data, the techniques may include determining whether the inconsistency is attributable to an error associated with the stored map data, the sensor data, or a localization system of the vehicle. As such, one or more specific remedial actions may then be performed based at least in part on determining that the error is associated with at least one of the stored map data, the sensor data, or the localization system.
