2. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the map updating module is located remotely from the vehicle and is part of an automotive navigation system and wherein the vehicle location information is received from an on board satellite positioning system receiver.
-
3. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the on board sensors comprise a plurality of:
wheel state sensor to sense one or more of vehicle speed, acceleration, deceleration, wheel rotation, wheel speed, and/or wheel slip, energy output sensor to sense a power output of a vehicle power source, switch state sensor, a transmission control unit state sensor, a brake state sensor, a collision sensor, a seat belt sensor, vehicle light state sensor, door setting sensor, window setting sensor, imaging sensor, external object sensor, seating system sensor, odometer reading sensor, trip mileage reading sensor, wind speed sensor, radar transmitter/receiver output sensor, brake wear sensor, steering/torque sensor, oxygen sensor, ambient lighting sensor, vision system sensor, ranging sensor, parking sensor, heating, venting, and air conditioning sensor, water sensor, air-fuel ratio meter, blind spot monitor, hall effect sensor, microphone, radio frequency sensor, infrared sensor, vehicle control system sensor, wireless network sensor, and cellular data sensor.
-
4. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the vehicle performance information comprises plural of vehicle speed, acceleration, deceleration, wheel slip, vehicle power output, brake state, transmission control unit state, trace route followed by the vehicle, and brake light state.
-
5. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the vehicle performance and location information is received from other vehicles in temporal proximity to receipt by the map updating module of collected performance and location information from the data collection module.
-
6. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the vehicle performance information comprises a trace route showing a route followed by the vehicle and wherein the trace route is compared by the map updating module to directions provided to the vehicle by an automotive navigation system to determine an accuracy of the roadway map.
-
7. The vehicle of claim 6, wherein, when the trace route and directions differ, the map updating module compares the directions against trace routes of other vehicles.
-
8. A tangible, non-transient computer readable medium comprising processor executable instructions operable to perform the operations of claim 1.
-
9. A method performed by the vehicle, wherein the method comprises the operations of claim 1.
-
2. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the map updating module is located remotely from the vehicle and is part of an automotive navigation system and wherein the vehicle location information is received from an on board satellite positioning system receiver.
-
-
10. An automotive navigation system, comprising:
a map updating module to receive vehicle performance and location information from plural vehicles, the plural vehicles having different owners, compare the vehicle performance and location information against a roadway map, based on the comparison, update the roadway map, and provide the updated roadway map to one or more of the plural vehicles. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
-
11. The system of claim 10, wherein the map updating module is located remotely from the vehicle and is part of an automotive navigation system, wherein the vehicle location information is received from an on board satellite positioning system receiver, and wherein the vehicle performance information comprises plural of vehicle speed, acceleration, deceleration, wheel slip, vehicle power output, brake state, transmission control unit state, trace route followed by the vehicle, and brake light state.
-
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the vehicle performance and location information is received by the map updating module from the plural vehicles in temporal proximity to one another.
-
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the vehicle performance information comprises trace routes showing routes followed by each of the plural vehicles and wherein the trace routes are compared by the map updating module to directions provided to the plural vehicles to determine an accuracy of the roadway map.
-
14. A tangible, non-transient computer readable medium comprising processor executable instructions operable to perform the operations of claim 10.
-
15. A method performed by the vehicle, wherein the method comprises the operations of claim 10.
