Abstract

A method of an automated motor vehicle for optimized communication from a server of localization reference data for a defined location includes a sensor of the motor vehicle capturing driving environment data, linking the captured driving environment data to location information, based on the linking, localizing the motor vehicle at an achieved localization accuracy, identifying a setpoint localization accuracy at which an operation of the motor vehicle is to be performed, signaling to the server the achieved localization accuracy, and transmitting to the server a request for the localization reference data at the setpoint localization accuracy based on the signaled achieved localization accuracy.
