partnership with VW and Bosch?De Vries: We are working together with these partners to
co-develop innovative car features and bring them to market.
The co-operation with Bosch is focused on ADAS to start
with. Our navigation technology and maps are integrated
into Bosch’s Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS).
This partnership enables Bosch to develop more advanced
applications including intelligent cruise control, upcoming
curve alerts, and jam tail warnings, which are all critical
components for car manufacturers developing the latest
standards in automated driving systems. With Volkswagen
Group Research we are joining forces to develop Highly
Automated Driving (HAD) Systems. The goal of this research
co-operation is to jointly develop HAD maps which are updated
in near real-time using sensor data from cars. VW and TomTom
combine their competencies by adding TomTom’s expertise
in map content and mapmaking to Volkswagen’s know-how
about the car as well as automated driving. We believe that
in order to continuously innovate and accelerate the arrival
of the automated car, automotive players will have to partner
with third-party companies, combining strengths in R&D and
product development initiatives.

A popular feature
of future highly automated driving vehicles will be the traffic jam
chauffeur, where the car will be able to drive, including taking
over other cars, without human intervention during a traffic jam.
TomTom enables this use case by providing highly detailed 3D
maps and highly reliable traffic information. These allow tail and
head of traffic jam to be accurately identified granting the driver
enough time to safely take back the control of the vehicle
