Autonomous vehicles (aka self-driving cars) and their equipped intelligent systems are among the most exciting and innovative technologies in transportation. In order to operate safely, autonomous vehicles require high-precision geospatial datasets and maps, which contain significantly more detailed road information and the true ground (absolute accuracy) than those found in current conventional geospatial resources for driving.

With the integration with artificial intelligence, machine learning, spatial data mining, image processing and other technologies, many innovative intelligent applications are fast growing. This international workshop aims to bring both academic researchers and geospatial industry engineers & research scientists together to present, discuss, and share the state-of-the-art scientific research and technology advancement on related fields for autonomous vehicles. The workshop participants will also have an opportunity to share the state-of-arts technology and brainstorm their visions of high-precision maps and development on future intelligent applications for autonomous vehicles.
