1. A method comprising:
detecting, at a vehicle system of a vehicle, an object based on sensor data received from one or more sensors;
determining whether a dynamic map maintained by a remote computing device includes the detected object;
upon determination that the dynamic map includes the detected object, determining a remaining time-to-live associated with the detected object based on the dynamic map; and
transmitting data about the detected object to the remote computing device if the determined remaining time-to-live associated with the detected object is less than a predetermined threshold time.
