Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed that provide an apparatus to analyze vehicle perspectives, the apparatus comprising a profile generator to generate a first profile of an environment based on a profile template and first data generated by a first vehicle; a data analyzer to: determine a difference between the first profile and a second profile obtained from a first one of one or more nodes in the environment; and in response to a trigger event, update the first profile based on the difference; and a vehicle control system to: in response to the trigger event, update a first perspective of the environment based on one or more of second data from the first one of the one or more nodes or the updated first profile; update a path plan for the first vehicle based on the updated first perspective; and execute the updated path plan.
