The MapLite system from MIT would let self-driving cars take the path less traveled.
Currently, most self-driving car systems rely on well-mapped roads, with lane markings and clear signs—something rural roads can lack. To overcome this limitation, the team from MIT created the MapLite system, which replaces digital maps with sensors and only ‘rough estimate’ GPS data. After the final destination has set, the system creates a ‘local navigation goal’ based on the visible road ahead. The car’s LiDAR system then guides the vehicle to each consecutive goal, while also keeping the car within the boundaries of the road.
