1. A computer-implemented method of fusing data of a vehicle map service, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system with one or more processors, first vehicle map service data and second vehicle map service data, wherein the vehicle map service data comprises information associated with a geographic area or one or more sensor observations of a vehicle;
comparing, by the computing system, the first vehicle map service data and the second vehicle map service data;
determining, by the computing system, based on the comparison, a first portion of the first vehicle map service data that is incompatible with a second portion of the second vehicle map service data; and
generating, by the computing system, fused data, the fused data including one of the first portion of the first vehicle map service data or the second portion of the second vehicle service map data; and
providing, by the computing system, a client system with access to the fused data, wherein access to the fused data comprises authorization to send or receive one or more portions of the vehicle map service data associated with the fused data.
