TomTom strengthens its claim as the most complete mapping service supplier for safe driving automationAMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Sept. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TomTom (TOM2), the leading independent location technology specialist, today launched TomTom RoadCheck, a pioneering product for automated vehicles that allows carmakers to decide where it is safe for drivers to activate their vehicles’ automated driving functions.Safe automated driving is not always possible during periods of adverse weather, in tunnels, and in changing environments, such as during roadworks. RoadCheck enables carmakers to use TomTom’s high definition (HD) map data to define the operational design domain (ODD) of their vehicles’ automated driving functions.
