Abstract: One variation of a method for detecting and managing changes along road surfaces for autonomous vehicles includes: at approximately a first time, receiving a first discrepancy flag from a first vehicle via a wireless network, the first discrepancy flag indicating a first discrepancy between a particular feature detected proximal a first geospatial location at the first time by the first vehicle and a particular known immutable surface—proximal the first geospatial location—represented in a first localization map stored locally on the first vehicle; receiving sensor data, representing the first discrepancy, from the first vehicle at approximately the first time; updating a first segment of a global localization map representing immutable surfaces proximal the first geospatial location based on the sensor data; and identifying a second vehicle currently executing a second route intersecting the first geospatial location.
