Street View vehicles travel around the world taking pictures. However, the Here car has now been spotted on the streets. A tech startup 50 percent owned by BMW and Mercedes has been caught by photo spies. With a large vertical arm on the roof, full of cameras and LiDAR sensors, the Subaru XV mapping vehicle collects information from the road and then transfers it to the advanced high-resolution maps needed to provide the most complete information in navigation systems.
High-definition maps that are gaining importance in Level 2 autopilots, and which will very soon move to Level 3 in the most advanced autonomous vehicles such as the Mercedes S-Class, which will be replenished with BMW i7 and iX models.
New HERE HD maps already map over 85 percent of the European continent's road network with ISA Intelligent Speed Assist, so they can inform the driver when the speed limit is exceeded.
