Abstract
Disclosures herein may be directed to a method, technique, or apparatus directed to a computer-assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD) vehicle that includes a system controller, disposed in a first CA/AD vehicle, to manage a collaborative three-dimensional (3-D) map of an environment around the first CA/AD vehicle, wherein the system controller is to receive, from another CA/AD vehicle proximate to the first CA/AD vehicle, an indication of at least a portion of another 3-D map of another environment around both the first CA/AD vehicle and the another CA/AD vehicle and incorporate the at least the portion of the 3-D map proximate to the first CA/AD vehicle and the another CA/AD vehicle into the 3-D map of the environment of the first CA/AD vehicle managed by the system controller.
