“Future mobility depends on all drivers, transportation agencies, and news organisations having access to detailed, up to the minute insight into what’s happening on every road, everywhere,” said Bryan Mistele, Inrix president and CEO.  “Just as Inrix revolutionised mapping and navigation with crowd-sourced traffic information and traffic influenced routing, we’re doing it again with Inrix XD Traffic.”
