HERE Technologies announced its partnership with Sony Honda Mobility Inc. (SHM) aimed at reshaping the future of mobility with the SHM electric vehicle (EV) brand, “AFEELA”. Through this partnership, SHM plans to leverage HERE Navigation SDK for AFEELA’s digital cockpit and HERE SDK Explore for their mobile application, powered by HERE's unified mapping architecture.
The product of a joint venture between Sony Group Corporation and Honda Motor Co., Ltd., AFEELA aims to challenge the typical EV, blending Sony’s expertise in digital technology with Honda’s automotive innovation.
The unified mapping architecture from HERE enables SHM to power multiple in-car systems and location-based applications in AFEELA’s software-defined vehicle, such as state of the art visualization, EV range management, augmented reality features, and more. The AFEELA helps deliver a seamless and intuitive journey for drivers and passengers, such as:
- In-Vehicle Infotainment System: HERE Navigation SDK delivers a robust guidance and navigation experience with rich EV features and safety information delivered across the vehicle's digital displays.
- Mobile Application: The HERE SDK (Explore edition) integrated into the AFEELA mobile application delivers real-time map updates and seamlessly connects AFEELA experiences to the digital lives of drivers and passengers.
By leveraging HERE’s unified mapping architecture, AFEELA plans to deliver a truly intuitive and personalized mobility experience that goes beyond standard navigation. HERE Professional Services brings together scalable products from HERE to support AFEELA’s intelligent architecture, which aims to transform mobility into an extension of the driver’s digital life.
