dynamic-maps/hard-intersection-multimodal-sample huggingface.co/datasets/dyna… Hard Intersection Multimodal Samples is a curated multimodal dataset of accident-prone urban intersection in Japan for autonomous driving research and development. It provides multi-camera images, trajectory, HD maps, semantic annotations, point cloud data, and 3DGS assets. A comprehensive, high-precision multimodal dataset of public road environments captured via an industrial-grade MMS equipped with high-performance IMU, GNSS, LiDAR, and cameras. Features raw sensor data (images, point clouds, trajectories), processed HDMaps, metric 3DGS, and HDMap-derived semantic images/point clouds.

Ashok at CVPR "these are not hdmaps" "so it's really like low definition maps and it is interesting to design that way so that you know we don't take a large dependence on the maps" Tesla is mapping the roads.

Elon always does the hard things. This is why he was against using sensor fusion and HDMaps for FSD. Waymo took the easy path. It gives quick wins but it will never scale. Elon took the hard path. It took longer but it will scale. Tesla wins.

@MapmyIndia is pleased to announce the readiness of its High-Definition (HD) Map Data, with full coverage of Expressways and National Highways spanning over 150,000 km. This milestone, combined with MapmyIndia’s world-class navigation and ADAS software within the NCASE mobility suite for EVs, AVs, SDVs and AIDVs, further strengthens India’s ADAS and autonomous driving ecosystem. @mappls @MapmyIndia navigation solutions — accurate, fresh, and road-tested across millions of vehicles over multiple years — now offer OEMs a seamless upgrade path: from high-precision navigation to ADAS and autonomous capabilities, powered by SD and HD maps working in conjunction with software, hardware, and sensors. As vehicles evolve from assisted to autonomous functionality, HD and SD maps form a critical intelligence layer — enabling precise localization, lane-level awareness, contextual road understanding, and predictive safety. We also thank our partner Prashant AdvancedSurvey LLP for being part of our journey for HD data acquisition in this process. The future of autonomy is built on precision. And precision begins with trusted, indigenous maps — powered by Make in India MapmyIndia Maps. @rakeshverma1950 | @MapmyindiaVerma | @_rohanverma | @sapnaahuja #HDMaps #ADAS #AutonomousDriving #AutomotiveMaps #LocationIntelligence #IntelligentMobility #AIInAutomotive #MakeInIndia #FutureOfMobility #NavigatingMobilityIntelligently

XPeng is following the right strategy (vision only, custom made silicon, data collection from the fleet), but I highly doubt they will make it in 2026, at least not without HDMaps. Please remember that Tesla needs 50,000 H100 GPUs to train FSD, China does not have access to that. What makes you think they can do it without this? China is developing its own AI Cluster technology with Huawei, but until it is ready at scale for XPeng to use it, plus the time needed to actually train, debug, and real world test the models (remember, if Tesla scales Robotaxi next year, it will have taken 18 months between FSD13 and Robotaxis at scale!), 2026 looks completely unreasonable. I think 2028 is the best-case scenario. I have always said the second OEM to crack FSD would be Chinese and probably XPeng, but 2026 sounds to me like a marketing scam (unless Lidar/HDMaps are used, but XPeng publicly said they would follow Tesla's vision-only strategy).
