EINDHOVEN, Netherlands and
JERUSALEM, Dec. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HERE and
Mobileye, both leaders in providing technologies for intelligent
vehicles, today announced plans for a strategic partnership that
links their respective autonomous driving technologies into an
enhanced industry-leading offering for automakers.
The two companies intend to pursue the following collaborative
initiatives:
- Integration of Mobileye's Roadbook™ with HERE HD Live
Map
Mobileye's Roadbook™ will be integrated as a data
layer in HERE HD Live Map, HERE's real-time cloud service for
partially, highly and fully automated vehicles. Roadbook™
information will provide an important additional layer of real-time
contextual awareness by gathering landmark and roadway information
to assist in making a vehicle more aware of – and better able to
react to – its surroundings, as well as allow for more accurate
vehicle positioning on the road.
- Mobileye's utilization of the HERE Open Location
Platform
Mobileye will utilize the HERE Open Location Platform for the
ingestion and processing of raw sensor and observation data (Road
Segment Data, RSD), and the creation and dynamic maintenance of its
Roadbook™ products. The HERE Open Location Platform is the next
generation of HERE's location platform, developed to support the
ingestion, enrichment and processing of real-time location-based
data for multiple industries, including the automotive
industry.
- HERE to utilize raw sensor and observation data from
Mobileye
HERE will utilize RSD, as well as the Global Roadbook™ (GLRB),
collected and aggregated from certain vehicle brands equipped with
Mobileye technology to support change detection and the maintenance
of HERE HD Live Map. Detecting changes in the real world and
adjusting the map accordingly is critically important for automated
vehicles to plan better driving strategies. With more sensor data
available from car manufacturers equipped with Mobileye's REM™
technology, the HERE HD Live Map will be updated even more quickly,
achieving very short Time to Reflect Reality.
"We are building a state-of-the-art global HD map that is
becoming the standard for autonomous driving and other IoT
applications that need precise location-based information and
services," said Edzard Overbeek, CEO
of HERE. "We are rapidly expanding this capability and I am very
pleased that we can accelerate that work with Mobileye, a strategic
partner which shares our view of where the automotive and other
industries are going."
"High-definition mapping is a key enabler for autonomous
driving. Mobileye's REM™ technology, enabling crowd-sourced data
extraction, together with the backend processing of the Roadbook™
combined with HERE HD Live Map is critical to ensure dynamic, near
real-time updates", said Professor Amnon
Shashua, Chairman and CTO of Mobileye. "We are pleased
to work with HERE to create a "world HD-map" standard, leveraging
the combined fleet size of certain vehicle brands initially, with
the objective of eventually launching an industry wide
initiative."
In parallel, the two companies also intend to explore other
potential opportunities where their products and services are
complementary to further support automotive companies in advancing
their autonomous driving and mobility strategies generally.
