The Volkswagen software and technology company CARIAD and the geolocation specialist TomTom announced today that they will jointly develop a new navigation product for the Volkswagen Group. In the future, the innovative product will combine TomTom's know-how in the field of hybrid navigation and industry-leading transport services with CARIAD's expertise in the areas of premium user experience and vehicle integration. This multi-year contract applies to all markets worldwide with the exception of China and is the continuation of a long and successful cooperation. TomTom has been a reliable partner of the Volkswagen Group for transport services for many years.
next generation of navigation for VW!
- TomTom provides the latest hybrid online / offline navigation technology and industry-leading traffic service under a multi-year agreement
- Continuous integration and innovation are central to the long-term partnership
- The first models of the Volkswagen Group with the next generation of navigation products will be on the road in 2023
CARIAD, which is working on software and hardware platforms for all brands of the Volkswagen Group, will develop the navigation UI / UX as well as the map visualization and thus create a unique navigation experience for customers of the Volkswagen Group brands. In order to enable seamless operation via infotainment and the most advanced driver assistance systems, the new Volkswagen software house aims to integrate navigation closely into the vehicle platform. By using the global fleet size of the Volkswagen Group and its data, CARIAD will continuously improve the quality and coverage of the navigation services. By 2030, CARIAD wants to connect up to 40 million vehicles worldwide with the Volkswagen Group's Automotive Cloud.
TomTom has developed a unique navigation solution that can be seamlessly integrated into the Volkswagen Group's digital cockpits and provides regular over-the-air updates. The state-of-the-art cloud-native navigation solution from TomTom uses up-to-date routing and real-time traffic information, particularly quickly, in order to provide the best route guidance and the most accurate estimated arrival times. If no data connection is available, the solution switches to its onboard software and is therefore available under all circumstances.
"By partnering with TomTom, we are taking another step on the way to transforming the vehicles of the Volkswagen Group into an automotive experience that can be seamlessly integrated into the driver's digital life," said Francisco Moreno, Head of Navigation at CARIAD. "With the proven support and expertise of TomTom, supported by the extensive networked fleet of the Volkswagen Group, we will bring many exciting innovations to the market that will contribute to a safer, more time-efficient and more intuitive driving experience."
The joint development of further innovative solutions is in progress. The first models to use next-generation navigation technology will be electric and hit the road in 2023. These models will benefit from the range of an electric car and route guidance that is far more precise than anything available today. The development of other groundbreaking features such as lane-based navigation and lane-based traffic, as well as a more advanced and personalized EV experience are also part of this ongoing innovation cycle.
"We are delighted to be deepening our relationship with the Volkswagen Group through CARIAD, a leading company in the automotive industry," said Antoine Saucier, Managing Director, TomTom Automotive. "Today marks another milestone in our relationship, as we announce that our state-of-the-art navigation solution will support the next generation of digital cockpits from the Volkswagen Group - from the volume to the premium line - with the promise of greater integration and continuous innovation in the years to come. "
