1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
determining an alignment between first data and second data;
determining, based on the alignment, modified first data associated with the first data and different from the first data and the second data;
determining a transformation associated with the first data and the modified first data;
determining, based at least in part on a map element associated with the first data and the transformation associated with the first data and the modified first data associated with the first data, a modified map element;
updating, as an updated map, a map to comprise the modified map element; and
transmitting the updated map to an autonomous vehicle configured to be maneuvered based at least in part on the updated map.
