Hyundai Motor Group Partners With Google To Enhance Vehicle Navigation And Software Capabilities
Hyundai Motor Group has partnered with Google Maps Platform to enhance navigation in its vehicles. This collaboration will initially benefit Kia passenger cars in North America. The integration aims to improve the Group's software capabilities and accelerate the development of software-defined vehicles (SDV).
The partnership introduces Google Maps Platform’s extensive database, covering 250 million places globally, to Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles. This integration will provide drivers with detailed information about locations, including business hours and reviews.
By incorporating Google Maps Platform’s Places API, Hyundai Motor Group aims to enhance navigation accuracy. This feature will offer drivers up-to-date details about various locations worldwide. Kia drivers in North America will be the first to experience these improvements.
Chang Song, President of Hyundai Motor Group’s Advanced Vehicle Platform Division, stated: "Hyundai Motor Group is developing technologies in the field of SDV and mobility to provide customer-centered values. Our partnership with Google, who helps people find a lot of useful information around the world, will serve as an opportunity for Hyundai Motor Group, broadening our coverage of technology in the mobility market and providing greater values to customers."
The Group has also embraced Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) to expand its software ecosystem. This move is expected to give Hyundai an innovative edge in SDV technology and lead future mobility trends.
Jorgen Behrens from Google Maps Automotive commented: "Every day, we make over 100 million updates in Google Maps to help people find fresh and comprehensive information about where to go and how to get there. By integrating our extensive database of places into Hyundai Motor Group vehicles through the Places API, we're empowering drivers with the knowledge they need to navigate confidently – and we look forward to working with Hyundai Motor Group to bring more innovation to the fleet in the future."
