High-precision digital maps have proven to be a central component in the development, operation and safety assurance of automated driving functions. In his presentation, Henning Lategahn will show what digital maps can look like and what their advantages are. He will show how altatec can create high-fidelity 3D maps on a large scale using only cameras and GPS. For this purpose, a very efficient creation process has been developed to ensure broad availability, moderate costs and high actuality for a wide range of applications.
