The two biggest leading companies in vehicle intelligent technologies are reportedly teaming up to create an advance and unique gadgets for drivers. HERE and Mobileye announced their partnership and their plans to upgrade and enhance the technologies being used by vehicle manufacturers.
The EnGadget reported that HERE and Mobileye will be using the Mobileye's current roadbook technology, which is known to be a cloud-based map that uses the roads around the world coming from the crowd-sourced vehicle sensor data. Using the Mobileye roadbook, it will be easier to distinguish landmarks and roadway information that enhances the vehicle's awareness to react to the surroundings real-time.
Mobileye plans to create a two sets of the so called EyeQ4 technology, which will be equipped with 8 cameras to provide a 360 degree visual perception of the surroundings. The said technology will come along with sensor fusion software that can derive data from radar and lidar sensors.
The Mobileye company claims that with the help of HERE, the roadbook will be more advance than the previous versions. It will use HD Live mapping system and will be able to store raw sensor data using Here's open map platform. In this case, the program will be easier to update the roadbook.
For everybody's information, HERE uses the vehicle's precise needs with an updated map data. HERE will be collaborating with Mobileye to create a new technology for a real-time tracking of the world map, roads, cars and pedestrians.
HERE was a subsidiary of Nokia between 2008 and 2015, Country Caller reported. The company was previously known as the Navteq before Nokia sold is to BMW and Audi. Similar to Mobileye, HERE provides services such as data mapping and road technologies. Using the cloud-base technology, HERE provides information about traffic patterns, parks, building and even road networks. They are also using information from Facebook, Bing and some government agencies.
As of today, since HERE and Mobileye already announced their partnership, vehicle owners expect a more advanced technology ever than before. As the two companies promised, they will be combining HERE HD Live Map along with the Mobileye Roadbook. Once these two technologies combine, driving routes will be easier to access and road safety will be maximized.
