Reference notes
Official AV2 page states combined GPS-/sensor-based 6-DoF localization. The map-aligned estimate depends on recorded sensing; detailed fusion stages, valid intervals and independent errors remain unknown.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Twenty thousand thirty-second scenarios provide LiDAR, ego poses and maps. No imagery or 3D object annotations are included; collection-rig cameras do not establish a normal input for this product.

Returns from two out-of-phase 32-beam scanners are aggregated and egomotion-compensated. A 64-beam combined sweep is not a single physical scanner, and frame quantization differs from per-point timestamps.

Ego poses combine GPS-/sensor-based localization. Raw navigation observations, exact fusion details and independently measured trajectory accuracy are not established; map alignment is not author confirmation.

Nominal clip duration sums can include curation/overlap and do not prove unique fleet driving time. Forecasting split semantics differ from the AV2 Sensor and Motion Forecasting products.
