1. A control method, comprising:
detecting a traffic condition around a first vehicle and/or a second vehicle, the first vehicle being a ground vehicle;
in response to the traffic condition affecting the first vehicle and/or the second vehicle, generating a map, wherein generating the map includes:
obtaining first scanning data collected using a first scanning sensor coupled to the first vehicle;
obtaining second scanning data collected using a second scanning sensor coupled to the second vehicle; and
generating the map based on the first scanning data and the second scanning data; and
controlling the first vehicle and/or the second vehicle based on the generated map to navigate an environment around the first vehicle and/or the second vehicle.
