"The scale of this program is massive. Mobileye says it is already collecting 6 million kilometers (3.7 million miles) of sensor data every day from vehicles on public roads. Mobileye expects to have more than 1 million vehicles in its European fleet by the end of 2020, and 1 million American vehicles the following year.
The company uses all this data to generate detailed, high-definition maps of the areas where the cars drive. Mobileye says it already has software that can automatically generate HD maps of roads above 45 miles per hour. The company expects to extend this capability to all roads next year. Mobileye expects to have all of Europe mapped by March, with America being fully mapped later in the year.
This is significant because gathering high-definition map data has been a major obstacle to deploying self-driving technology. In the past, companies had to build these maps by hand by paying workers to drive mapping cars along every street and then having a second group of humans hand-annotate the collected data. If Mobileye can crowdsource and automate this process, the resulting data will easily be worth billions of dollars.
Once Mobileye has assembled all this data into an HD map, it can send up-to-date map tiles back out to cars in its fleet. As a result, each of Mobileye's partners—Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, and others who haven't been made public yet—will be able to offer Super Cruise-like "Level 2+" ADAS features without needing their own fleet of map-making cars."
