TomTom: maps for autonomous driving

Visio's response: "The eSight glasses are intended for people with macular degeneration (MD) such as Stargardt Disease. In this case, the patient has peripheral vision, but the center is blocked. The glasses are intended for people with average vision, roughly with a residual vision between 0.16 and 0.10. (normal vision is 1.00). We tested these glasses with various test subjects (n=8), with one of the test subjects clearly indicating that he benefited from the glasses. However, in practice the result turned out to be disappointing. It is a step in the right direction, but improvements are possible. In particular, the image displayed by the camera is not yet stable enough."


A safer neighborhood with Ring
Another company that has been working for years is Ring. Originally known for the doorbell with video camera and 2-way audio, they show a whole line of new products for in and around the house at CES. Without straying too much from their original product. The nice thing is that, for example, in a neighborhood with 15-20 percent video doorbells, the safety of the neighborhood improves .


Sony's playful course
Sony is of course a permanent element at CES. For a number of years now, Sony has been taking a more playful course and this year was no exception. Of course, you might think that this is about the robot Aibo . But that is only part of the story. Sony's products have also become more playful in recent years. As Quint Dekker from Sony shows in this video.




Exercise smarter
CES also has a lot to offer in the field of sports. For example, Humon has developed a kind of garter for measuring oxygen consumption in the muscles. Coros offers a bicycle helmet with bone conductivity (sound via the bone) and a sensor that sends a message to your emergency number in the event of an accident with a location where the accident occurred.




Of course, TomTom is also present at CES. korean phone number whatsapp This year in the North Hall where the automotive stands are. TomTom's focus at CES is the maps for autonomous driving. These maps are not the same as the ones we use now. The big difference is what we do with them. Of course navigation, but let me be more specific: who navigates? You or the car? In the first case, the map and the positioning are more global, because you do the translation yourself. You see where you are going and then steer in that direction. You do not drive into a wall, but drive along it. A car has to do everything itself and needs maps down to the centimeter. GPS does the global determination, but based on the information that TomTom provides, an accurate positioning is determined.



All the knowledge and expertise you have about where you can and cannot drive (over) must be built into the car. And according to Harold Goddijn (CEO TomTom), there is still a challenge. Autonomous driving on the highway is simple, but autonomous driving in a busy environment such as the city center is more complicated.
