The Connected Car: here is why and how Continental and HERE team up.
Our series on the vehicle connectivity’s trend drives us to talk
now about the ability of your vehicle to
continuously determine its position on the road to within 10-20 centimeters (3-8
inches).
Welcome to Electronic Horizon, automated driving and new intelligent transportation systems
based on high
precision map technology.
In fact, Continental, the international automotive supplier, and HERE, a strong player
in mapping and location services, announced their willingness to intensify
their collaboration in bringing the Connected Car to life, focusing onElectronic Horizon, future Automated Driving functionalities and Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS).
Connectikpeople.co has discovered that, the work will begin with the
development of highly precise map technology for Continental's Electronic
Horizon platform that will enable your vehicle to continuously determine its
position on the road to within 10-20 centimeters (3-8 inches).
According to both companies, the maps will include a range of road
information, including lane markings and connectivity, speed limit changes, no
passing signs and more.
This means that, using this information, all types of vehicles will be able
to react to shifting circumstances, such as changing speed limits,
automatically.
In this momentum, Connectikpeople.co observes that, Continental aims to
provide a complete end-to-end connected Electronic Horizon solution based on
HERE data and cloud services to vehicle manufacturers worldwide. images credit: Continental
