TomTom has joined hands with Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) in Europe. All HMG cars will get a new TomTom’s navigation system with real-time traffic data and updated maps supported by TomTom.

Haeyoung Kwon, Vice President and Head of Infotainment Development Group, HMG said, “We are thrilled that all Hyundai and Kia drivers in Europe will benefit from the comfort and safety provided by TomTom’s best-in-class geolocation technology.” “TomTom is a partner we trust to deliver highly accurate map data that enhances our Highway Driving Assist technology, and real-time traffic information that helps us optimize navigation guidance and ETAs.”
Millions of Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis cars will come with this tech as standard over the coming years after this release. Automakers will be able to offer ADAS for better assistance and TomTom’s advanced maps and real-time traffic tech. The ADAS Map provides high-quality road info which includes gradient, lanes, and speed limits. The improved curvature will provide more safety, comfort, and efficiency to the drivers.
TomTom’s new map data will offer accurate speed limit signs that will help ISA regulation compliance coming into force after July 2022. A report came that all HMG cars will build more cars beyond more N-line cars built for the Global markets. As a result, the size of HMG’s test facility will double its size at the Nurburgring.
