10. A computing device, comprising:
at least one memory to store crowdsourced sensor data collected from a plurality of vehicles; and
at least one processor configured to:
receive the crowdsourced sensor data collected from respective autonomous vehicles at a location represented in an interoperable map, wherein the respective autonomous vehicles use data from the interoperable map for navigation at the location, and wherein the respective autonomous vehicles use data from a proprietary map for at least one additional service at the location;
compare information observed from the crowdsourced sensor data to information in the interoperable map to identify a change at the location;
update data in at least one of the interoperable map or the proprietary map, based on the change at the location, to establish an updated map to be used by a subsequent autonomous vehicle to perform navigation at the location; and
provide the updated map to a map server for distribution to the subsequent autonomous vehicle, to enable the subsequent autonomous vehicle to perform navigation based on the updated map.
