Mapping the Future of Autonomous Vehicles

The chapter discusses the potential future of technology in cars, specifically the inclusion of dashboard cams and built-in sensors that constantly update a global map for machines. It explores the use of LiDAR sensors in autonomous driving, the challenges and cost associated with them, and the possibility of a single company serving as the central source of high-quality data for all moving vehicles. The chapter also delves into the debate of whether changing the existing infrastructure or focusing on data collection and mapping is crucial for the success of autonomous vehicles.
