Ground Truth Map Data DRIVE Map is designed for the highest level of accuracy, the ground truth map engine creates DRIVE Maps using rich sensors—cameras, radars, lidars, and differential GNSS/IMU—with NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion data collection vehicles. It achieves better than 5 cm accuracy for higher levels of autonomy (L3/L4) in selected environments, such as highways and urban environments.
Fleet-Sourced Map Data DRIVE Map is designed for near real-time operation and global scalability. Based on both ground truth and fleet-sourced data, it represents the collective memory of millions of vehicles. By leveraging the data stream from DRIVE Hyperion sensor suites and other partner sensor sets, DRIVE Map contains all required features and semantic information – including dynamic and behavioral information – to enable a safe as well as comfortable driving experience.
Global Coverage DRIVE Map is designed to support assisted and automated vehicles everywhere in the world. NVIDIA is creating HD maps of major highways in North America, Europe, and Asia—totaling more than 500,000 km. This large-scale HD map will be continuously expanded and updated by millions of passenger vehicles.
Versatile Digital Twins DRIVE Map is essential for AV development and driving functions, such as perception, localization, prediction, path planning, and control. Details and density depicted in map data make them useful for a variety of applications to simulate and recreate location-specific digital twins. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim on Omniverse can further enhance these map-generated digital twins for different types of applications, such as AV simulation, teleoperation and fleet management simulation.
