Inside the competition over mapping for self-driving vehicles among companies like Google, GM, and Uber, with many keen to stop Google from dominating

Mark Bergen / Bloomberg : Tweets: @shiraovide , @mhbergen , @bradstone , @mhbergen , @taralach , @kyweise , and @mhbergen Tweets: Shira Ovide / @shiraovide : Very excellent, and also makes me appreciate how truly difficult it is to scale driverless cars. You need to map every millimeter of every roadway in the world. http://twitter.com/... Mark Bergen / @mhbergen : Also: Uber working on its own HD maps for driverless, relying, in part, on data from its navigation maps. And its contract with Google for *those* maps are expiring this year. Brad Stone / @bradstone : Google, Tesla, Uber and about a hundred startups are racing to build the next generation of 3D maps for use by driverless cars. A @mhbergen joint: https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @technology Mark Bergen / @mhbergen : Here's my story on the wild west of building self-driving maps. Google, which has for years knocked driver-assistance software (at Waymo), now also working on driver-assistance maps! http://www.bloomberg.com/... Tara Lachapelle / @taralach : Apple Maps couldn't even get us through Pittsburgh last weekend - took us ~25 minutes out of the way and it got very confused midway https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @technology pic.twitter.com/qhF9nckk3l Karen Weise / @kyweise : He who owns the maps owns the roads https://www.bloomberg.com/... Mark Bergen / @mhbergen : Finally, on startup side: Civil Maps (Ford investment) is raising more money; DeepMap (working w/ Ford) added @bmcclendon, ex Google & Uber maps boss, to its advisory board.
