What if your vehicle would know road hazards before you even see them, or suggest a possible safe place to overtake a cyclist on a winding rural road?

They’re just two of the things we talk about on today's Highways Voices with Remco Timmer, he’s VP Product Management, Head of Automotive Solutions at HERE Technologies.

You’ll likely discover a lot you didn’t know about mapping and locations as we explore how mapping and sensor integration are transforming assisted and autonomous driving, solving real-world challenges around driver awareness and safe navigation in complex traffic environments.

He talks about how a vehicle's on-board sensors work with intelligent mapping, and gives his thoughts about why legislation clarity is crucial to accelerating the adoption of autonomous vehicle features across urban and rural networks. He also explains how dynamic maps are helping drivers not just navigate traffic, but also to understand when, where, they could drive hands-free with confidence.

If you think mapping is just about directions, this conversation will change your perspective.
