Next generation automotive services

HERE has introduced next generation vehicle-sourced data services for the automotive industry focused on making driving safer, less congested and more enjoyable for billions of people around the world.

The HERE Open Location Platform is harnessing real-time data generated by on-board vehicle sensors, starting with data from connected Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars, to create a live depiction of the road environment.

The rich level of accuracy provided by these previously untapped vehicle sensors gives drivers more precise and timely information on surrounding road conditions with which they can make better driving decisions.

Ultimately, these types of data services will also support the real-time maintenance of the HERE HD Live Map and the broader market introduction of advanced driver-assisted systems and, later, autonomous vehicles.
