A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to, based on sensor data in a vehicle, determine a database that includes object data for a plurality of objects, including, for each object, an object identification, a measurement of one or more object attributes, and an uncertainty specifying a probability of correct object identification, for the object identification and the object attributes determined based on the sensor data, wherein the object attributes include an object size, an object shape and an object location. The instructions include further instructions to determine a map based on the database including the respective locations and corresponding uncertainties for the vehicle type and download the map to a vehicle based on the vehicle location and the vehicle type.
