Introducing a New Map for Semi-Autonomous Cars
The race to build navigation systems for driverless vehicles just heated up.
It’s all but certain that autonomous vehicles are the future of driving. But to get there, we’re going to need a better map.
That map will need to do two things: On the technical side, it needs to be able to talk to the vehicle in computer-speak about where to go, in what gear, and how fast. On the design side, it should be as intuitive, fun, and useful to a human being as the best app on her smartphone.
