TomTom has pulled the covers off its philanthropic Site visitors Manifesto, with aims to reduce site visitors congestion for the good of all mankind. Underpinning the Site visitors Manifesto is TomTom’s Hd Traffic, which today saw itself updated to version 4.0 of your technique.
The Site visitors Manifesto, outlined by TomTom’s CEO Harold Goddijn, states that “Our site visitors technology is presently utilized by over 1 million drivers by way of smartphone, TomTom personal navigation gadgets and in future via in-dash systems”.
The fascinating factor is the use in the term “in future”. We know that TomTom already has in-dash devices with many manufacturers (Renault becoming the most significant integration), but they go on to state that they'll “Build relationships with automotive manufacturers with the objective of having TomTom’s High definition Site visitors navigation technique as regular on in-dash navigation systems”.
Interestingly, Harold Goddijn produced reference to an announcement that is going to be produced at the 2010 Paris Motor Exhibit (2-17 October) in passing during today’s Visitors Manifesto announcement, mentioning "an adaption of the system". Could we see Hd Visitors coming to in-dash products subsequent week? Or will it be a fresh cope with a new car manufacturer? Previous rumours have suggested that TomTom is nearing an announcement and corroborates the Paris Motor Show timing.
Around the smartphone front, TomTom has previously been coy answering questions on whether there might be a TomTom for Android app, but again its Targeted visitors Manifesto suggests it really is on the road map: “Make our technological innovation readily available on leading mobile platforms. We aim to have millions of people today utilizing TomTom’s Hi-def Targeted traffic navigation process through smartphones”.
Speculation perhaps, but it’s clear that TomTom is thinking out of the PND box.
UPDATE: It appears that particulars of TomTom Carminat Live have been appearing on some automobile internet websites covereing particulars from the up to date Renault Laguna becoming launched in the Paris Motor Display. Nothing official from TomTom or Renault, but this looks like a dead cert.
