On July 20th,
Michigan’s Mobility Transformation Center (MTC) unveiled Mcity, a 32-acre facility devoted
to accelerating and testing connected and automated driving. HERE will provide critical HD mapping and
real-time data technologies to be used for testing connected and automated vehicles and systems
under a variety of different circumstances. At the Automated Vehicle
Symposium on July 21st and July 22nd, HERE demonstrated the HD mapping and big
data analytics technologies behind its HD Live Map, which helps automated
vehicles understand and interpret the road network and what lies ahead.
Find out more
about HERE’s
role with Mcity
HERE is also
making HD mapping data available to
companies with highly automated
vehicle tests on open roads in Silicon
Valley, Michigan, France, Germany and, later this year, Japan.
