Autonomous Vehicle HD Maps

Meta Trend	Spatial and Temporal Models
Title	Autonomous Vehicle HD Maps
Description	Maps created at centimetre or sub-centimetre precision, typically to support driverless-cars and other autonomous ground vehicles that operate in built-up areas [1] footnote:].
What is new or emerging?	Although mapping organizations are likely to embrace standards to allow them to incorporate data from many sources, a fully open ecosystem seems unlikely. The companies involved will prefer to maintain semi-closed ecosystems [2]
Why might it matter?	To achieve the CAV ambition, geospatial data is key. Not just to the creation of a realistic simulation environment to test in, but also to the eventual deployment of a new infrastructure to enable improved connectivity and mobility.[3]
