HERE partners with automakers and automotive suppliers to connect cars to the cloud
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
- Work begins with Mercedes-Benz to explore "smart maps" for self-driving car
- Partnerships with Magneti Marelli, Continental also unveiled
ESPOO, Finland - HERE, a Nokia business, today announced ahead of the Frankfurt
Motor Show that it has partnered with the Mercedes-Benz division of Daimler and
two of the world's leading automotive system integrators, Continental
Corporation and Magneti Marelli. These partners are building on the HERE
Connected Driving framework to offer individual connected products and services
that go beyond navigation to meet their differing needs.
Connecting the car to the cloud is one of the biggest opportunities for the
automotive industry today. Connectivity will allow cars to compute real time
information on demand so that the vehicle can take over more aspects of driving
ultimately creating an entirely new class of services. At the same time,
technology is advancing so rapidly that what appears cutting edge today will be
commonplace tomorrow. Automakers and system integrators alike need a partner who
understands their needs, offers them flexibility and can stay ahead of fast
moving technology cycles.
With a long history in supplying maps for the automotive industry, HERE is well
positioned to help car makers and in-vehicle technology suppliers create
connected cars.
Mercedes-Benz
HERE has teamed up with Mercedes-Benz to jointly develop smart maps for
connected cars and ultimately, self-driving cars. HERE and Mercedes built a 3D
digital map of the route that the first Benz Patent-Motorwagen took 125 years
ago from Mannheim to Pforzheim, Germany. Based on the particular requirements of
autonomous vehicles, this map includes precise road data that go beyond
traditional maps, including the number and direction of lanes, traffic signs
along the route and even exact coordinates of traffic lights. While autonomous
vehicles may not hit the streets commercially for several years, automakers and
tech innovators alike must already think about the infrastructure and
technological requirements needed to support this technology. Mercedes-Benz and
HERE will continue to explore this area together.
Magneti Marelli
Magneti Marelli is working with HERE to develop an end-to-end connected driving
solution ready to use for car makers, based on Magneti Marelli's open platform
and the HERE Connected Driving offering. It takes advantage of dynamic content
from the HERE Auto Cloud such as real-time traffic information, parking and fuel
prices as well as information on local places.
Continental Corporation
Continental Corporation recently announced that it has implemented 3D content
from HERE into its new Infotainment platform. With HERE, the platform will
integrate different location based applications into cars such as 3D Landmarks,
satellite imagery with split screen and current traffic information among other
location based applications. Drivers can also synch navigation destinations and
route preferences across the in-dash system in their vehicles and their
smartphone, tablet, or PC.
"We believe that the evolution towards a connected car future will happen in
different phases. Autonomous driving is just one fascinating aspect," said
Michael Halbherr, Head of HERE and EVP at Nokia. "Every car OEM, system
integrator and every driver will require their own unique solution and
technology will never be able to replace human understanding. That is why we
have created our Connected Driving solutions with fresh maps at their core."
The HERE Connected Driving offering will be demonstrated at the International
Motor Show starting on September 10 at Hall 4.1, Stand E30.
