If an autonomous vehicle continuously updates its map using sensor data and a fixed-point iteration algorithm, which consequence follows when the mapping function is non-contractive?

💡 Explanation

Map oscillations or divergence occur because a non-contractive mapping function violates the Banach fixed-point theorem, which requires the mapping to reduce distances between points during each iteration to guarantee convergence. Therefore, the algorithm may not settle on a single, stable map, rather than providing reliable sensor filtering.
