Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving sensor data from a sensor array of a vehicle while traveling on a road. The method includes determining a confidence score for a classification of an object based on the sensor data. The method includes generating an object graphic corresponding to the object based on the confidence score for the classification of the object. The method includes retrieving, from one or more third-party systems, third-party data associated with an environment in proximity to the object and associated with the road based on the classification. The method includes generating an overlay graphic corresponding to the environment in proximity to the object based on the third-party data. The method includes providing for display the object graphic rendered in association with the overlay graphic corresponding to the environment.
