Here technologies inks deal with Hyundai Latam

US-based Here Technologies, a mapping and localization service for the automotive industry, has made a deal with Hyundai motors to provide integrated real-time traffic information systems for brand new vehicles in Latin America.

Besides the Here Map Content system which offers comprehensive data of roads and points of interest, Hyundai will also receive Here Real Time Traffic which is a real-time service that aggregates data from a global network of connected multi-brand car fleets to provide information on traffic conditions.

With this, drivers will have continuous access to accurate information on the conditions of roads and streets. The system can also be processed and used by a vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

"The integrated systems will provide drivers with the real-time information they need to make smarter and safer road decisions. "Congested roads, construction zones, efficient routes and travel times will all be easily viewed and managed within reach of the driver and passenger,” says Here Latam sales manager Jean Silva.

With the deal, Here is now serving a total of four automakers in the region. The others are Honda, Mitsubishi, and Renault.
