1. A method for generating a map of surroundings of a vehicle, the vehicle including at least one sensor, the method comprising the following steps:
a) acquiring, by the vehicle, first data, the first data including at least a position of the vehicle and information about a type of the at least one sensor;
b) transmitting, by the vehicle, the first data to a central device;
c) selecting, by the central device, perception parameters in view of the first data;
d) transmitting, by the central device, the selected perception parameters to the vehicle;
e) receiving, by the vehicle, the selected perception parameters, and configuring the at least one sensor using the selected perception parameters;
f) monitoring the surroundings of the vehicle by the at least one sensor, raw data being recorded, and the raw data being filtered by the vehicle, using the selected perception parameters;
g) transmitting, by the vehicle, second data to the central device, the second data being based on the raw data; and
h) generating and/or updating, by the central device, a map based on the second data.
