Abstract
A system for use in a vehicle, the system comprising one or more sensors, one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors, and a memory including instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform a method. The method comprises retrieving a stored route for the vehicle that comprises a plurality of waypoints corresponding to different locations along the route, each waypoint associated with features along the route on a feature map, and navigating the vehicle along the stored route by navigating the vehicle from waypoint to waypoint in the stored route using the one or more sensors to: detect one or more features in an area surrounding the vehicle; and localize the vehicle at each waypoint by comparing the one or more features in the area surrounding the vehicle with the one or more features associated with each respective waypoint in the feature map.
