FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to the field of computerized vehicle controls. In particular, the present invention is directed to methods and systems for mapping a parking area for autonomous parking.

BACKGROUND

Currently many automakers make vehicles which may operate with some level of automation. However, the public has yet benefit in large measure from this technological leap. A lot of discomfort exists around the possibility of allowing automatically driven vehicles to take over all driving tasks; and indeed it appears many driving circumstances arise that baffle the automated systems of current self-driving vehicles, for instance poorly labeled and crowded city streets.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

In an aspect a method of controlling usage of parking maps for autonomous parking includes receiving, using a computing device, a first parking map representative of a first point of interest, wherein the first parking map comprises a first access datum, generating, using the computing device, a first map metric associated with the first parking map, and selectively communicating, using the computing device, the first parking map with a first remote device as a function of the first access datum.

In another aspect a system for controlling usage of parking maps for autonomous parking includes a computing device, configured to receive a first parking map representative of a first point of interest, wherein the first parking map comprises a first access datum, generate a first map metric associated with the first parking map, and selectively communicate the first parking map with a first remote device as a function of the first access datum.

These and other aspects and features of non-limiting embodiments of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of the following description of specific non-limiting embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
