GENEVA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TomTom (TOM2),
the leading independent location technology specialist, and Elektrobit
(EB), an award-winning global supplier of embedded and connected
software products for the automotive industry, today announced the
release of an industry-first High Definition (HD) map horizon for
automated driving. An HD map horizon helps vehicles to build a highly
accurate virtual picture of the road ahead, enhancing driver safety and
comfort.

By streaming the latest TomTom HD Maps via TomTom AutoStream through
Elektrobit’s “EB robinos Predictor” onboard software, the HD map horizon
targets vehicles with a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Automation
Level of 2 and higher. It is compliant with the automotive industry’s
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Interface Specification (ADASIS) v3
protocol.

Willem Strijbosch, TomTom’s Head of Autonomous Driving, said: “Just one
year ago, we, together with Elektrobit, announced our intention to
develop an easy-to-implement HD map horizon for vehicles with driver
assistance, and higher levels of automation. We’re now delivering on
this, making the product available to car manufacturers and their
technology partners.”

“EB robinos Predictor provides highly accurate and up-to-date
information about the road ahead,” said Michael Reichel, Head of Product
Management Automated Driving at Elektrobit. “Vehicles and drivers
greatly benefit from information beyond the sensor horizon for a safer
and more comfortable ride.”
