Here, a Nokia business, has launched a Connected Driving offer to help car makers and in-vehicle technology suppliers connect the car and the driver to the cloud. The offer includes Here Auto, Here Auto Cloud, and Here Auto Companion. Additionally, Here has upgraded its traffic product, Here Traffic, by building a new data processing system. The Here Connected Driving offering will be demonstrated at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany starting on 10 September.
The Here Auto embedded in-car navigation experience is designed to deliver the right map at the right moment with and without a data connection. Drivers can get turn by turn voice guided navigation in 95 countries and 2D, 3D and satellite map views including street level imagery.
Here Auto Cloud provides drivers with always-on access to several dynamic services such as real-time traffic updates, helping drivers avoid congested areas, road closures or blockages that occur en route. Drivers can also get recommendations on places to eat, parking spots, information on where to charge an electric vehicle or where to find the most inexpensive fuel.
The Here Auto Companion customizable mobile and web application keeps drivers connected outside of the car allowing them to synchronize their favorite places and routes across their devices so that they need not re-enter their route when they get in the driver's seat.
