Mapbox announced a partnership with Toyota to offer Cloud Navigation powered by Mapbox Dash. The European models Yaris, Yaris Cross, and Aygo X vehicles will provide customers moment-by-moment information. In addition to lane-level navigation, drivers have access to parking search including real-time parking availability, speed limit and speed camera warnings. In an upcoming pilot, Toyota drivers can pay for parking and fuel from the convenience of their infotainment system.
Mapbox Dash combines the company’s platform capabilities in navigation, search and visualization, and traffic data. Mapbox Dash is built on the cloud-based Mapbox platform that enables automobile manufacturers to launch complex in-car integrations. Customers who purchase vehicles from Toyota Motor Europe with Mapbox Dash will be using up-to-date data from the cloud. In addition, their vehicles will receive feature updates to continuously optimize the user experience (UX).
