Abstract
Two vehicles—an ego vehicle and an other vehicle—can share sensor data in a streamlined manner. One or more sensors can be configured to acquire first environment data of an external environment of the ego vehicle. A data summary based on second environment data of an external environment of the other vehicle can be received. Whether there is a common region of sensor coverage between the ego vehicle and the other vehicle can be determined. In response to there being a common region, the first environment data that is located within the common region can be identified and the resolution level of the identified first environment data can be reduced. The first environment data that has the reduced resolution level and a remainder of the first environment data excluding the identified first environment data can be transmitted to the other vehicle.
