1. A system, comprising a management computer including:
a processor; and
a memory, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to:
based on sensor data in a first vehicle, determine a database that includes object data for a plurality of objects, including, for each object, an object identification, a measurement of one or more object attributes, and an uncertainty specifying a probability of correct object identification for the object identification and the object attributes determined based on the sensor data, wherein the object attributes include an object size, an object shape, and an object location;
determine an uncertainty map based on the database including uncertainties in the respective locations and corresponding uncertainties for a vehicle type, wherein the uncertainty map indicates locations with a high uncertainty of locating objects; and
download the uncertainty map to a second vehicle based on the second vehicle location and the second vehicle type wherein the uncertainty map is used to plan a vehicle route that avoids high uncertainty locations.
