MAP EVALUATION APPARATUS

A map evaluation apparatus includes a microprocessor and a memory coupled to the microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform: recognizing an external situation around a subject vehicle; storing recognition information including a recognition result in the recognizing in the memory; generating a map based on the recognition result; calculating an evaluation reference value to be used for evaluation of the map based on the recognition information stored in the memory; and calculating a reliability of the map based on a deviation of the recognition information used to calculate the evaluation reference value from the evaluation reference value.
