HERE is at the center of innovation in Volvo’s XC90 – Connected and
Automated Driving
This is not your
mother’s Volvo, but what a tech editor called one of the "most advanced
vehicles on the road." Why? A mix of innovations that make it a
superlatively connected car,
including navigation and some automated
driving features powered by HERE. HERE provides precise road
geometry necessary for adaptive cruise control and curve speed warnings, as
well as traffic sign detection. The large tablet-like interface of the
Sensus in-car control system stunningly displays maps to deliver the
information the driver needs across multiple screens. Vital information —
including navigation from HERE — is projected on the heads-up display on the
lower part of the windscreen. Click here to read more.
