HERE helps launch Virginia Automated Corridors
Since HERE provides
the precision 3D maps that deliver lane-level detail crucial to the advancement
of highly automated driving, they were chosen to be part of a partnership with
Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, the Virginia Department of Motor
Vehicles, the Virginia Department of Transportation, and Transurban to test
fully automated cars on public roads in Virginia.
In addition to 3D
maps, HERE provides Live Roads and Humanized Driving. Live Roads allow
cars to report what is happening around them to other vehicles such as traffic
congestion, an accident, or even an animal on the road. HERE’s humanized
driving uses actual driver behavior to instruct the vehicle to perform more
like a human and less like a robot. All of these technologies are critical to
ensure the safe and successful future of automated driving.

HERE’s automated driving technologies, click here.
