Abstract
A system and method for generating drop-off points in a map includes a location sensor configured to detect a location of a vehicle, a proximity sensor configured to detect a disembarkation of a user from the vehicle and collect geometric features around the location, one or more sensors configured to monitor driving and stopping patterns of the vehicle at the location, and a processor. The processor is configured to generate a drop-off probability of the location based on the disembarkation of the user from the vehicle, the driving and stopping patterns of the vehicle, and the geometric features around the location, determine whether the drop-off probability is greater than a drop-off threshold, and in response to a determination that the drop-off probability is greater than the drop-off threshold, label the location as a drop-off point in the map.
