TomTom to power Hyundai Motor Group with Maps and Traffic
01 Septembre 2022 - 7:30AM
TomTom (TOM2), the trusted geolocation technology specialist,
announced today that its maps and real-time traffic data have been
chosen by Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) to support its entire vehicle
lineup in Europe. Over the coming years, millions of HMG vehicles
will come equipped with this technology as standard.
As was already the case for Genesis drivers, all
Hyundai and Kia customers in Europe will now enjoy TomTom’s
high-quality maps supporting their vehicles’ in-dash navigation and
level-two automated driving features. Genesis, HMG’s premium brand,
launched its model lineup in Europe during the summer of last year,
equipped with TomTom’s maps and real-time traffic technology.
TomTom’s advanced maps help carmakers push the
boundaries of automation by enabling advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS) to better anticipate the road ahead. The TomTom ADAS
Map provides these systems with higher-quality road information,
including gradient, lanes, curvature, and speed limits, improving
safety, comfort, and eco-performance. HMG’s innovative Highway
Driving Assist (HDA) relies on this data to independently change
speed if the posted limit changes, and automatically slow down and
navigate freeway transition ramps and curves in a safer way. TomTom
map data provides highly accurate, verified content for all speed
limit types across Europe, helping with intelligent speed
assistance (ISA) regulation compliance, which came into force as of
July 2022.
“We are thrilled that all Hyundai and Kia
drivers in Europe will benefit from the comfort and safety provided
by TomTom’s best-in-class geolocation technology,” said Haeyoung
Kwon, Vice President and Head of Infotainment Development Group,
HMG. “TomTom is a partner we trust to deliver highly accurate map
data that enhances our Highway Driving Assist technology, and
real-time traffic information that helps us optimize navigation
guidance and ETAs.”
“It’s a pleasure to expand our relationship with
Hyundai Motor Group so that each and every one of their cars in
Europe will be equipped with TomTom’s technology,” said Antoine
Saucier, Managing Director, TomTom Automotive. “Hyundai Motor Group
is one of the most innovative and forward-thinking players in the
automotive industry, and we look forward to collaborating over the
coming decade, creating pioneering solutions that provide freedom
of movement in a safe, enjoyable, and clean way.”
