- TomTom’s High Definition Map combined with Mitsubishi Electric’s High-Definition Locator provides automakers with a high-precision, integrated solution for next-generation vehicles.
- With this collaboration, the companies are developing hardware solutions that provide the highly accurate navigation data required for automated driving.
Through this collaboration, TomTom’s High Definition (HD) Map will power Mitsubishi Electric’s High-Definition Locator hardware, providing the highly accurate data required for automated driving. Mitsubishi Electric’s High-Definition Locator is a highly precise GPS-based vehicle positioning system that utilizes quasi-zenith satellites (QZSS) to provide unmatched accuracy at all times. Combined with the high-definition mapping that TomTom’s HD Map provides, the system generates accurate information on the vehicle’s position and road data critical for automated driving applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications.
TomTom leverages a multi-sourcing strategy for its HD Map, including data from GPS probes, front facing cameras, and vehicle sensors, to allow automated driving systems to anticipate the road ahead. Already being used in millions of vehicles on the road for Levels 1 to 2-Plus autonomous driving, TomTom’s HD Map technology is consistently updated, providing a highly detailed representation of the road and allowing self-driving vehicles to pinpoint the location of all road elements, including lane centerlines, traffic signs, and other objects, to make sense of their surroundings.
“We’re exhilarated to work with TomTom, widely recognized as the leading provider of precise and reliable mapping data,” said
"With drivers relying more heavily on their cars, the role and scope of digital maps must go beyond turn-by-turn navigation and be built specifically for self-driving vehicles,” said
