Overview

Since antiquity, when sea routes and land routes were perilous for people and goods, having up to date and highly accurate maps have been a requirement for safe travel. These maps were patchworks of military sketches, captain logs and merchant updates, and over the centuries became more and more detailed. In an era of increasing vehicle automation, having up-to-date and highly accurate maps is equally critical to ensuring safe vehicle operation both on the highway and on surface roads. Yet map building remains an exhaustive and highly manual process, meaning real-time high definition map updates often propagate through to the user with a delay of months or years from the date when they were collected, rendering them useless beyond limited driver assist functions. It is time for a new paradigm.

TEAM

The Map Integration team is responsible for integrating high definition ("HD") Maps into Toyota’s next-generation automated driving Teammate vehicles. Teammate vehicles will be the most powerful supercomputers on wheels and HD Maps are critical to ensuring safe operation of the automated vehicle beyond the sensor’s line of sight. Beyond data, as a team of most knowledgeable mapping engineers in Toyota, the team is further responsible for providing reliable mapping solutions and creating map access and operation platforms with world-class technology. The team also works on orchestrating multiple HD Map sourcing partners, Toyota Group back-end stakeholders and multiple Toyota system engineering teams to achieve safe mobility for everyone.
