street view images so we can navigate ourselves, but for a vehicle, autonomousi vehicle, this needs to be done at a much higher precision. we need centimetre level- detailed maps of entire cities, which is actually a remarkably solvable problem but very - expensive to do and even worse to maintain. - there is another limitation with current approaches, i in terms of the sensors thati get used are very expensive sensors, something called lidar which is a way of sending out. beams of laser light and measuring the time for that light to reflect back and that gives you a sense of how fari things are away. that s a wonderful sensor,
