Intelligent upgrade of AutoNavi Maps launches AR navigation industry solution

Amap announced the launch of an AR navigation industry solution. According to official introduction, this solution allows the recorder to connect with the navigation application via Wi-Fi, with the car's central control screen serving as the terminal for visual display.

This solution provides users with AR real-time navigation, collision warning and other safety assistance, refined navigation and other functions that are only available in some high-end luxury cars. With just a driving recorder, you can experience the driving pleasure brought by AR navigation at a low cost.

The AR navigation industry solution launched by AutoNavi Map relies on leading AR navigation technology and advanced visual algorithms to help partners connect AutoNavi Map's 530 million+ active mobile users and over 63 million car users each month, open up three unique capabilities, and help the automotive aftermarket upgrade to intelligence.

The first is AR real-scene navigation, which uses a camera to capture the real scene of the road ahead in real time, and then combines it with the car's current positioning, map navigation information and scene AI recognition to perform fusion calculations, and then generates a virtual navigation guidance model and superimposes it on the real road, thereby creating a navigation screen that is closer to the driver's real field of vision, greatly reducing the user's reading cost of traditional 2D or 3D electronic maps.

Secondly, it has improved the ability to ensure users' driving safety. Gaode AR Navigation can perform intelligent image recognition of surrounding environments such as passing vehicles, pedestrians, lane lines, traffic light positions and colors, speed limit signs, etc., and provide drivers with a series of driving safety assistance functions such as vehicle distance monitoring, collision warning, pedestrian warning, lane departure reminder, front vehicle start reminder, traffic light reminder, etc., bringing a more refined and safer service experience than traditional map navigation.

The third is refined navigation capability. With years of accumulated road and traffic big data, Amap can provide users with refined navigation services, which is also the basic capability for AR navigation. For example, before a turn, Amap can guide users at the lane level, and even provide lane-level real-time traffic information to distinguish different turns.

Since launching the first domestic in-vehicle AR navigation system that can be used in multiple scenarios in 2018, after nearly two years of industry verification and technology iteration, AutoNavi's AR navigation partners have covered a complete ecosystem from OEMs, car manufacturers to automotive aftermarket partners.
