Systems and methods for estimating vehicle position based on contextual sensor information

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive data captured by one or more sensors associated with a vehicle. One or more objects in an environment of the vehicle can be identified based on the data captured by the one or more sensors. A position estimate of the vehicle can be generated within a known map based on one or more positional inferences pertaining to the vehicle, the one or more positional inferences pertaining to the vehicle being determined based on the one or more objects or features identified in the environment of the vehicle.
