Our take
DeepMap is a software provider delivering 3D HD mapping technologies. It is used by millions of people in self-driving vehicles every day. Its scalable maps reflect real-time road conditions, increasing safety in the age of autonomous cars.
DeepMap addresses one of the biggest challenges that automated car companies face: proper localization and mapping information that is reflective of real-time road conditions. With DeepMap’s innovations, it should enhance a vehicle's ability to correctly locate itself whilst on the road, increasing its precision and overall safety.
Recently acquired by chipmaker Nvidia, DeepMap’s digital maps respond to the needs of vehicle manufacturers for more advanced levels of driving autonomy, both for passenger vehicles and trucks. Through this acquisition, the start-up is setting out to expand its expertise in self-driving technology and move into worldwide mapping solutions. In regards to its B2B model, it has already formed partnerships with leading autonomy organizations including names like Ford, Honda, Bosch, and Einride
