Abstract

A map generation apparatus includes a microprocessor configured to perform: recognizing a surrounding environment based on detection data of a sensor; generating a map based on recognition information; estimating a position of the subject vehicle on the map; determining completion or incompletion of the map; and storing map information. The generating includes: generating the map of a driving section based on the recognition information; storing, in a memory, the map information corresponding to a completion section; and storing, in the memory, section information indicating an incompletion section together with position information of the subject vehicle. The generating further includes: when the subject vehicle travels next time on the incompletion section, generating a map of the incompletion section based on the recognition information; adding map information of the incompletion section to the map information; and rewriting the section information.
