A method comprises receiving a first set of data associated with a plurality of retroreflective features from a vehicle; retrieving a digital map comprising vectorized data associated with the plurality of retroreflective features and a location associated with the plurality of retroreflective features, the map previously generated based on monitoring a second set of data retrieved from a sensor of a second vehicle where the second set of data is associated with the plurality of retroreflective features near a road being driven by the second vehicle; generating a score for each retroreflective feature indicating a match between each retroreflective feature as indicated within the digital map and a location of each retroreflective feature as identified within the first set of data; and localizing the vehicle.
