Bruno Bourguet, Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development at HERE, said “We are proud of the work we are doing together with automakers to boost in-car innovation. As cars get increasingly connected, carmakers not only leverage the world’s most precise map data that we collect, but also our location cloud, providing always fresh and seamless navigation experiences inside and outside of the car.”

HERE maps can currently be found in more than 50 million cars around the world, including models from BMW, Daimler, FIAT-Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.
