TomTom (TOM2) today announces the European debut of its
Localisation Demonstrator, a new demonstration device that
leverages its HD Map and RoadDNA technology to provide accurate and
robust lane-level localisation of a vehicle. The device, using
sensors expected in autonomous vehicles, combines TomTom award
winning autonomous driving content with TomTom correlation software
to demonstrate the precision of our data, and the ability to
perform real-time lane positioning.
“We’re excited to be able to invite our customers and the media
to experience the powerful nature of our autonomous driving
products via our new Localisation Demonstrator,” said Willem
Strijbosch, Head of Autonomous Driving at TomTom. “By providing a
live view of how our HD Map and RoadDNA products work, we believe
we will be able to illustrate our product innovation while also
elevating the level of engagement with our automotive
partners.”
