contents Maps have always been an essential component of autonomous driving. With the advancement of autonomous driving technology, both the representation and production process of maps have evolved substantially. The article categorizes the evolution of maps into three stages: High-Definition (HD) maps, Lightweight (Lite) maps, and Implicit maps. For each stage, we provide a comprehensive review of the map production workflow, with highlighting technical challenges involved and summarizing relevant solutions proposed by the academic community. Furthermore, we discuss cutting-edge research advances in map representations and explore how these innovations can be integrated into end-to-end autonomous driving frameworks.
