HERE
currently uses data from more than 80,000 sources for its maps,
including static data captured by its 3D mapping cars and
dynamic data.
"Now, to further advance its plans to deliver real-time maps,
HERE will be exploring the possibility of incorporating
anonymised data from Audi, BMW and Daimler vehicles, with a view
to entering similar discussions with more industry participants
too in the coming months," the three car makers said in a
statement.
By using data from multiple sources, HERE would be able to
accelerate the development of the next-generation map needed for
automated driving, the companies said.
