Case Study: HERE Technologies achieves safer, weather-aware autonomous driving with DTN

DTN Supports Automotive Sector in Development of Self-Driving Cars

HERE Technologies, a leading location platform that has evolved from navigation systems into real-time mapping and data services for drivers and autonomous systems, faced the challenge of integrating hyper-local, highly accurate road and weather information into vehicles so self-driving systems can operate safely in rapidly changing conditions (black ice, heavy fog, snow) that exceed GPS and map precision. DTN was the vendor providing detailed weather and in-car multimedia weather-data services to address this need.

DTN implemented localized, real-time weather and road-condition feeds integrated into in-car multimedia and autonomous stacks, supplying early warnings (ice, fog, heavy precipitation) that feed redundant sensor and mapping systems. Although no specific numeric metrics are published, DTN’s role as the preferred supplier to numerous vehicle manufacturers and its adoption across OEM in-car systems demonstrates measurable market impact by improving vehicles’ ability to anticipate and respond to severe weather, enhancing safety and operational reliability for platforms like HERE Technologies.
