Automaker 6419 BMW Group is to utilise the 7643 Here Open Location Platform for the development and launch of its new digital driving services.

By leveraging the next generation of Here's platform, BMW aims to create differentiated location-enriched services from the data generated by its connected cars and the Here data network.

This includes combining car sensor data with other data streams available through the platform, such as from cities and the broader Internet of Things to build services using a powerful framework for geodata processing.  The first development will help vehicles to better detect, process and validate fleet sensor data related to hazards on the road, variable speed signage location and values and physical road dividers.
