TomTom powers over 10 million vehicles with automated driving solutions
28 Mars 2023 - 7:30AM
TomTom (TOM2), the geolocation technology specialist, today
announced a new milestone for its advanced maps for automated
driving (AD). Over ten million automated vehicles (AV) sold by
carmakers in North America and Europe are powered by TomTom’s
advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) maps and software. This
figure has doubled over the last year, growing more than twice as
fast as the global market.
TomTom expects its ADAS Map sales to
continue growing TomTom now serves over 30
Automotive brands with its ADAS maps and software. Over one-third
of all new AVs that hit the road are equipped with an ADAS map
supported by TomTom.
“Today, we power over ten million automated
vehicles on the road with our ADAS maps, winning overall market
share in the AV solutions market,” said Mike Schoofs, Chief Revenue
Officer, TomTom. "We have consistently outperformed the already
strong growth in the market, which is proof of the quality and
robustness of our ADAS solutions."
The TomTom ADAS Map provides advanced driver
assistance systems with high-quality road information globally,
including gradient, lanes, curvature, signs, and speed limits,
enabling vehicles to better anticipate the road ahead, improving
driver safety, comfort, and vehicle efficiency.
Increased ADAS uptake driven by
heightened safety requirements
Recent EU legislation has made intelligent speed
assistance (ISA) mandatory for all new vehicle types since July
2022, and mandatory for all new vehicles from July 2024. ISA can
use cameras alone to identify speed limits through traffic sign
recognition, however, these have limited range and can be
obstructed by rain or snow. This makes it difficult for cars to
identify and display conditional and variable speed limits, such as
speed limits for specific weather conditions or vehicle types.
Combining camera input with TomTom's ADAS map data solves these
issues. TomTom’s map data fuses with the vehicle’s ADAS functions
to prepare for changing speed limits resulting in greater vehicle
safety and efficiency.
EuroNCAP's latest Speed Assist System (SAS)
protocol has even higher safety standards than the ISA regulation,
awarding vehicles with comprehensive maps and connected service
content with higher safety ratings. TomTom’s ADAS services can
support the 2023 SAS protocol. This includes all conditional speed
limits and a wide range of warnings about local hazards, such as
accidents ahead, and road features, like road curvatures. To keep
up with heightened safety requirements, carmakers increasingly
demand technology that achieves the highest level of
safety.
"Maps are essential in achieving the level of
accuracy that current and future regulation requires and will be
central to the future of ADAS and AV applications,” Yu Guo, VP
Software Engineering, said. "As an industry leader in mapping, we
are well positioned to support carmakers, having the most complete
assisted and automated driving mapping portfolio in the
industry."
TomTom’s ISA solution, Virtual Horizon, is used
by carmakers globally to be ISA compliant. TomTom's Virtual Horizon
is the only all-in-one solution from a single supplier that helps
carmakers meet ISA-type approval requirements, covering both the
data and a software suite to display the data.
"We have proven to be a reliable partner for
carmakers by providing a complete automated driving mapping
portfolio that ensures the safest driving experience for drivers,"
Schoofs added. "With take rates for ADAS forecast to rise, we
expect to keep up this momentum over the coming years, cementing
TomTom’s leading position in this market."
