Why would secondary cities be an issue ?

They seem big enough to incentivize mapping costs.

I was referring to secondary roads (not limited access) and cities generally. Sorry I was unclear. Major cities would actually seem to be the bigger challenge than smaller ones in general.

Detailed and current mapping will likely be a necessary part of fully-autonomous systems at least initially. But there's nothing especially difficult about doing that mapping. It's just a question of economics.
