Meet Eyedrive, Apple’s system for building Maps and testing autonomous driving

Filipe Espósito, 9to5Mac:

Apple began collecting data using modified vans, but now field operators drive a white Subaru Impreza, which is internally known as “Ulysses.” These vehicles are part of Apple’s 3D Vision team, which is responsible for combining multiple data with computer vision and machine learning technologies to provide 3D images on Apple Maps.

And:

The other type of car is a self-driving Lexus used for Apple’s autonomous vehicle efforts, which has the code name “Tyche.”

This whole writeup is fascinating.
