The maps are being used in the automated vehicles Bosch is testing on certain public roads in Germany (A81) and in the US (I280).

“Only with precision maps will automated driving on freeways be possible from 2020,” said Bosch board member, Dirk Hoheisel.

Road coverage will subsequently be extended to the rest of Europe and North America.
