Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and systems for autonomous driving systems for using map data in performing an autonomous driving function. Various embodiments may include accessing map data regarding an object or feature in the vicinity of the vehicle, accessing confidence information associated with the map data, and using the confidence information in performing an autonomous or semi-autonomous driving action by the processor. The confidence information may be stored in the map database or in a separate data structure accessible by the processor. Methods of generating map safety and confidence information may include receiving information regarding a map object or feature including a measure of confidence in the information, using the received measure of confidence to generate safety and confidence information regarding the object or feature, and storing the safety and confidence information for access by vehicle autonomous and semi-autonomous driving systems.
