Drive Me is Volvo’s research project into autonomous driving wherein real drivers will integrate autonomous driving into their daily lives on public roads. The first group of drivers will be recruited in Gothenburg, Sweden, with further pilot schemes organised in London, the UK and China.
TomTom’s HD Map, is an accurate digital map-based product that helps automated vehicles precisely locate themselves on the road.
Antoine Saucier, managing director, TomTom Automotive, says: “The Volvo Drive Me programme is exciting because of its user-centric focus. We’re really interested in what we’ll learn from the drivers as they interact with the technology, and how the TomTom HD Map helps towards their driving experience.”
