TechCrunch was able to ride in one of Apple’s vans.
It said in addition to GPS equipment on the roof, it has four LiDAR arrays mounted at the corners and 8 cameras shooting overlapping high-resolution images.
There is also a physical measuring tool attached to a rear wheel that allows for precise tracking of distance and image capture.
The ‘roofrack’ is controlled by a Mac Pro bolted to the floor, attached to an array of solid state drives for storage.
A single USB cable routes up to the dashboard where the actual mapping capture software runs on an iPad.
Each drive captures thousands of images as well as a full point cloud, a 3D map of space defined by dots that represent surfaces.
it absolutely looks like the quality of data you would need to begin training autonomous vehicles.
