New system of Toyota can leave obsolete Google Maps
In life it is not always possible to know where we are going and where we come from. However, when it comes to vehicle navigation, there are several options that can help people find their way. The Google Maps is the most widely used option and known by most, but the giant of service Mountain View may be about to gain a strong competitor.
Apparently, the Toyota shall, at CES 2016 , a new mapping technology that will be able to keep maps up to date. The images would be generated from the joint work between the fleet of vehicles the automaker and not by monitoring cars equipped with cameras in 360 ( as does Google ).
The idea is to use combination of features between images for maps with accuracy of up to 5 cm can be shared among drivers. The manufacturer must implement the mapping technology only on expressways. – Reading no major streets might possibly also be made by smart cars
However, the constant updating of maps do not It is the only advantage that the new system should offer. The Toyota believes will reduce the risks while traveling. It would be possible, for example, to identify holes through the cloud-based monitoring system. Thus, alerts would be issued to vehicles that were traveling the same route. In addition, the updates also keep updated drivers in relation to other situations, such as changes in speed limits and signage, which would also be shared by users of the service.
