Tmap and LG Electronics to develop AI-powered driving guidance
Tmap Mobility and LG Electronics have agreed to develop AI vehicle technology in South Korea.
The partnership will combine Tmap’s detailed maps, 3D navigation and place information with LG’s vehicle computing and multimodal AI.
One planned feature will use live camera images to give spoken directions based on nearby buildings or vehicles.
Tmap’s road and traffic data may also help identify icy roads and repeated hard braking ahead, so drivers can avoid hazards.
The companies plan to develop personalized recommendations, insurance services and improved safe-driving scores.
They will test the technology in simulated driving environments and actual vehicles to check whether it can be used in cars.
They also plan to explore business opportunities with automakers in South Korea and other countries.
Tmap Mobility and LG Electronics signed an agreement to develop AI-defined vehicle technology and in-car services.
The companies plan to combine Tmap’s high-precision maps, 3D navigation and place information with LG’s vehicle computing and multimodal AI technology.
They will develop natural-language driving guidance based on real-time camera footage and 3D navigation data.
The partnership also includes testing navigation and infotainment services in a digital-twin simulation environment.
The companies plan joint vehicle tests and will seek business opportunities with automakers in South Korea and abroad.
