## Caption

High-definition (HD) maps are detailed digital models of the world, including elements like road geometry, signs, and traffic signals. While they've been widely used for autonomous driving, they’re costly to create and maintain. This has led to the growing demand for “mapless driving.” 

In this episode of DRIVE Labs, we’ll explore NVIDIA innovations that enhance mapless driving by removing information bottlenecks, improving task accuracy, and accelerating model training and inference times.
