Automated driving

One of the main challenges carmakers face in realizing the full potential of automated driving (AD) is building safe and accurate systems in a scalable, cost-effective way. Sensors are one part of the equation. But for truly safe AD on a large scale, precise, up-to-date maps are key.

TomTom map technology makes it possible for AD systems to look beyond the limited range of car sensors. Our maps provide the required context that improves sensor perception and vehicle localization to help AD systems plan more precise paths and safer maneuvers.

We are helping make all levels of AD safer. Daimler Trucks, Alfa Romeo and Maserati use our maps to power their ADAS-equipped vehicles. And we partner with Renault, NVIDIA, Volvo and Toyota on research projects that are working towards reliable full AD.
