The offering includes Here Auto embedded in-car navigation, Here Auto Cloud always-on access to dynamic services such as real-time traffic updates, and Here Auto Companion, a customisable mobile and web application.

In addition, Here has radically improved its Here Traffic by building a new system to process data faster and more accurately than before. The Here connected driving offering will be demonstrated at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany.
