Abstract
A vehicle information system and an in-vehicle agent implement a system for detecting discrepancies, for example due to drift, between actual real-world conditions in an environment surrounding a vehicle and corresponding conditions as represented in a model used by the vehicle. Additionally, the in-vehicle agent provides the detected discrepancies to a road-side resource and/or cloud-based computing device in order to distribute the detected discrepancies to other vehicles in the area. Also, a model maintained at the cloud-based computing devices may be updated to account for the discrepancies. The roadside resource and/or vehicle may infer estimated lifetimes of the detected discrepancies and intelligently distribute information describing the discrepancies based on their respective estimated lifetimes.
