FRANKFURT: TomTom has announced that its maps and real-time traffic data have been chosen by Hyundai Motor Group to support its entire vehicle line-up in Europe.
Over the coming years, millions of Hyundai 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 maps supporting their vehicles’ in-dash navigation and level-two automated driving features.
Genesis, Hyundai’s premium brand, launched its model line-up in Europe last summer, equipped with TomTom’s maps and real-time traffic technology.
TomTom said its 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.
Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist relies on this data to independently change speed if the posted limit changes, and automatically slow down and navigate highway transition ramps and curves in a safer way.
TomTom said its map data provides highly accurate, verified content for all speed limit types across Europe, helping with intelligent speed assistance regulation compliance, which came into force as of July 2022.
