Ford research selects Nokia Location Platform for innovation project
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ford and Nokia research a smarter and more personalized driving experience
Chicago, IL, USA - Nokia today announced that Ford's research organization will
use the Nokia Location Platform to advance innovation for smart and connected
vehicles, as demonstrated by the Ford EVOS concept car.
Ford selected the Nokia Location Platform to leverage Nokia's high-quality
global location content, including the industry leading NAVTEQ Map, as well as
scaleable cloud services and APIs. This complete solution offers a fast, easy
and cost-effective path to create innovative and differentiated location
products.
The Ford EVOS concept car showcases a future in which cloud services go beyond
Internet access and traffic-enabled routing. For example, Ford's concept car
actually "learns" driver behavior to control, improve upon and personalize
vehicle performance. Another area of Ford's research is designed to optimize
hybrid powertrain efficiency: the Nokia Location Platform could automatically
regulate a car's powertrain as it travels through established or driver-
specified "Green Zones".
"We are committed to providing compelling customized services to the automotive
sector and customers like Ford," said Christof Hellmis, Vice President Map
Platform in Nokia's Location & Commerce unit. "We have consistently focused on
innovation around location and navigation in the car. This commitment enabled
us to provide a global platform service which could truly enhance the customer
and user experience. It's exciting to see the Nokia Location Platform as an
integral part of Ford's mission to revolutionize the connected car."
While the Ford EVOS is a concept car intended to show Ford's technology vision
for the future and is not itself scheduled for production, it does give a
glimpse of the technology being researched for future car models. More
