    Een mooi persbericht morgenochtend, zou perfect getimed zijn. Ik hoop erop....maar dan wel een goed persbericht, en niet weer een nieuwe wearable.....

    Why didn’t Apple want to buy either TomTom or HERE?

    When Apple launched its Maps back in 2012, it was a total failure (at least from a user perspective). The company stitched together spatial data from multiple vendors, and the overall effect was much below user expectations. It showed that making maps is much more difficult than, one might imagine.

    Most of the navigation layers in Apple Maps are based on TomTom’s data and OSM in countries where TomTom doesn’t have decent coverage. Additionally, the company uses multiple local data providers like Waze for Israel, or AND for some areas in Eastern Europe
    (a full list of data sources that Apple uses is available on the official acknowledgments page).

    Everyone in the industry thought that the only way forward was a big acquisition of one of the global independent mapping data providers: TomTom or HERE. Investment from Apple would allow them to fill in coverage gaps in less developed countries. But Apple decided to go its own way, why is that?

    First of all, Apple doesn’t like to take over big organizations. It prefers talent acquisitions of small engineering teams or innovative ideas and visions (here is the full list of geospatial startups Apple acquired). It is related to the company’s culture that brings together the brightest minds and has full control over who it takes on board.

    But there is also a much more serious reason. Navteq – the mapping company acquired by Nokia in 2008 and rebranded to HERE, had been founded in 1985. The origins of TeleAtlas – which is the company behind TomTom maps, goes back to 1984. These two companies have over 30 years experience in the industry which is a great asset, but also many of their processes remember the beginning of the last decade (if not 90s), which on the other side is a huge burden.

    Apple likes to have things polished not only from the outside but also from the inside. When you buy a small startup, it is easy to clean up and reuse the code they’ve created. When you buy a 30 years old tech company that hires several thousand people, it is much more difficult.

    In that sort of companies, although they create amazing things, there are always some old databases and processes that someone developed as a workaround, and since it works, no one touches it. There is always someone whos job for the past 20 years was to copy things from one system to another because it’s cheaper to keep it that way than to integrate it. In that sense, I totally get Apple. Creating the process from scratch and designing it well (without workarounds) might be easier than to improve the existing one.

    Making and keeping maps up-to-date is a very costly, complex and labor-intensive process. TomTom and HERE know about it. Apple was certainly looking into disrupting the industry by applying latest technologies to map making process. But there is no disruption technology on the market yet.

    All three major global data providers Google, TomTom and HERE have a similar process to keep maps updated. They have local employees, community or users who (actively or passively) report the changes to the road network or geography. For each case, they need to find data source, and at the end, someone in the data production center in India is applying the update to the database.

    Apple tried a different approach, but at the end of the day, the company started to work in a similar model. Apple hires local teams around the world, it started to operate a fleet of mapping cars (the same as Google, TomTom and HERE to gather data in the field), and finally, it opened a map data production center in Hyderabad, India with 4000 vacancies to be covered.

    There are a couple of things that we’ve learned from Apple Maps case. First of all, there are no shortcuts when it comes to making navigation-quality maps. Apple figured it out quite quickly after the initial problems, and today after 5 years their Maps are already usable. Secondly, it shows that the location context is so important that companies can invest billions of dollars to have it. Finally, this not another temporal trend or fashion. When a company like Apple hires several thousand people to make it happen, it’s definitely a long-term commitment.

    11:03 – Jensen said he’s got a big announcement to make….

    He reels off the way companies are using NVIDIA technology for self-driving cars, truck, self-flying planes.

    “Toyota has selected NVIDIA for its self-driving vehicles. As you know, they are one of the largest companies in the world. This is a company that is legend in so many ways…so many modern management systems were invented by this company. They’re working with us. Our two engineering teams are working to create their autonomous car and put it on the road in the next few years.

    -------------------

    “This will be the architecture of their future production cars,” Jensen says.

    He notes Toyota will use NVIDIA’s Xavier technology. It has 30 Tflops in a 30 watt package.

    Duidelijke connectie w.m.b. Als je een beetje de dingen volgt die T2 en Nvidia samen doen dan kan je bijna niet anders concluderen.

    Video van de GPU Conference, vanaf 1:29 een TomTom Auto en RoadDNA. TomTom haar technologie wordt steeds vaker naar voren gehaald als een belangrijk aspect voor zelfrijdende auto's.

    Volgende mail aan ir@tomtom.com gestuurd:

    TomTom involved in NVidia/Toyota-deal?

    Goedenavond,

    Met genoegen vernam ik via het NVidia blog dat het NVIDIA Xavier platform is geselecteerd door Toyota als partner voor zelfrijdende wagens.

    blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2017/05/10/live...

    Kunt u bevestigen dat Bosch en TomTom ook betrokken zijn in deze samenwerking gezien de nauwe samenwerking tussen Bosch/TomTom en Nvidia enerzijds en anderzijds de voor de hand liggende link via Microsoft Azure i.v.m. recente aankondigingen van Microsoft m.b.t. samenwerkingen met enerzijds TomTom en anderzijds Toyota?

    Ik hoop op een inhoudsvol antwoord. De stroom van persberichten vanuit TomTom zou vele malen beter in evenwicht komen als dergelijk extreem belangrijk Automotive nieuws zo snel mogelijk gemeld wordt. Ik vertrouw er op dat u het belang van gelijktijdige informatieverstrekking aan ALLE aandeelhouders onderschrijft.

    Met vriendelijke groet,

    -- Xynix --

    In de introductie: vanaf 1:25 TomTom/Bosch wagen duidelijk in beeld en daarna PACCAR (=ook DAF, met veel SDT-programma's!!).

    Vanaf 1:48:30 "AI Revolutionizing Transportation"

    !:51:35 Lidar Mapping: dat lijkt toch echt op RoadDNA, hoewel met een wat andere look-and-feel!!!

    1:52:00 "We construct the HD-maps, there are amazing companies who are doing this, we create the middleware. There's a great company Deepmap who's doing this, and of course TomTom does, HERE does."

    Heeft Autonomous de NVidia stack doorontwikkeld?
