ABSTRACT

A method comprises monitoring, by a processor, using a sensor of a first
vehicle, data associated with a retroreflective feature near a road being
driven by the first vehicle; vectorizing, by the processor, the data
associated with the retroreflective feature; generating, by the processor, a
digital map including vectorized data associated with the retroreflective
feature and a location associated with the retroreflective feature; receiving,
by the processor, data associated with the retroreflective feature from a
second vehicle; and executing, by the processor, a localization protocol to
identify a location of the second vehicle using the digital map.
