A process to produce a scratch resistant coated article includes providing a flat glass substrate having a surface to be coated, and depositing a multilayered coating on the surface in corresponding sequence coming from the surface, a functional layer stack including at least one metallic silver inclusive layer sandwiched between two dielectric layers, a transition metal (TM) inclusive layer including carbon in a molar amount, which at least in a region of an outer surface of the TM inclusive layer equals at least the molar metal amount of TM metals, and a hydrogen containing layer in direct contact to the outer surface of the TM inclusive layer as an outermost layer of the coating.

An end-to-end system for data generation, map creation using the generated data, and localization to the created map is disclosed. Mapstreams—or streams of sensor data, perception outputs from deep neural networks (DNNs), and/or relative trajectory data—corresponding to any number of drives by any number of vehicles may be generated and uploaded to the cloud. The mapstreams may be used to generate map data—and ultimately a fused high definition (HD) map—that represents data generated over a plurality of drives. When localizing to the fused HD map, individual localization results may be generated based on comparisons of real-time data from a sensor modality to map data corresponding to the same sensor modality. This process may be repeated for any number of sensor modalities and the results may be fused together to determine a final fused localization result.
