HERE connects the car to the cloud - introducing the most complete Connected Driving offer on the market
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Espoo, Finland - HERE, a Nokia business, today announced a complete Connected
Driving offer, the only end-to-end driving solution on the market today, which
will help car makers and in-vehicle technology suppliers connect the car and the
driver to the cloud.
The offering includes HERE Auto, HERE Auto Cloud, and HERE Auto Companion. In
addition, HERE has radically improved its Traffic product, HERE Traffic, by
building a new system to process data even faster and more accurately than
before. The HERE Connected Driving offering will be demonstrated at the
International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany starting on September 10.
Technology is rapidly transforming driving, with connectivity bringing the
outside world to the car and the sensor revolution creating new possibilities
for the automobile industry. People today demand that cars become integrated
into their ecosystem of connected devices with the same level of innovation they
see in their personal devices.
HERE Connected Driving offers a full range of automotive products and services
that builds on our high-quality and fresh map to go beyond navigation. The
customizable offering is a fully flexible framework that allows automakers to
differentiate the driving experience. It will help them solve the problems that
drivers face every day such as synching routes and other personal information
across their car and devices and finding the right parking spot or closest gas
station.
- HERE Auto is the first embedded in-car navigation experience that delivers the
right map at the right moment with and without a data connection. Drivers can
get turn by turn voice guided navigation in 95 countries and 2D, 3D and
satellite map views including street level imagery. In the future, car makers
will be able to easily extend the HERE Auto experience using a software
development kit (SDK) to create entertainment and other applications, such as in
the areas of music and social networking. HERE Auto is already integrated in
Continental's next generation Open Infotainment Platform. HERE is also working
with partners such as Magneti Marelli and others to bring HERE Auto to the
market in the coming months.
- HERE Auto Cloud provides drivers with always-on access to several dynamic
services such as real-time traffic updates, helping drivers avoid congested
areas, road closures or blockages that occur en route. Drivers can also get
recommendations on places to eat, parking spots, information on where to charge
an electric vehicle or where to find the most inexpensive fuel.
- HERE Auto Companion, a customizable mobile and web application, keeps drivers
connected outside of the car allowing them to synchronize their favorite places
and routes across their devices so that they won't need to re-enter their route
when they get in the driver's seat. Car makers can tap assets from the existing
HERE suite such as walking navigation, public transit routes and even indoor
venue maps to build custom mobile applications. Drivers could use the app to
remotely find their car with their device using LiveSight augmented reality
technology and check the car's vital stats such as fuel levels and tire
pressure.
- HERE Traffic has been radically improved by "Halo," our new engine that
processes data quickly and accurately. Every month we're collecting ever greater
numbers of high-quality data, such as probe points and sensor information to
deliver real-time information such as weather, traffic congestion, road
construction and other factors that affect a drive. With our new Traffic product
drivers get improved travel time estimates, so they can better plan their routes
and quickly re-route on the go.
"By 2016, the majority of consumers in mature markets will consider in-vehicle
web-based data access a key criterion in their automotive purchase," said Thilo
Koslowski, VP of Automotive at Gartner. "Successful connected vehicle solutions
will add value to the connected driver's digital lifestyle and enable integrated
cross-device experiences relevant for people everyday."
