With the deal, Lucid Air drivers will have the navigation suite of TomTom navigation components. Among key features and services are automotive-grade digital Maps, provided in industry standard NDS format and TomTom navigation software, NavKit; as well as TomTom Traffic.
“Our deal with Lucid Motors is [an] example of an OEM trusting TomTom as a future-proof partner for the connected car,” said TomTom Automotive MD, Antoine Saucier.
For her part, Lucid Software Engineering manager, Jane Nguyen, added: “TomTom’s navigation suite, including real-time traffic information and turn-by-turn directions, will be an important component of the Lucid Air’s connected, natural and adaptive user experience.”
