“With the addition of the highways in Japan we’re building on our single global HD map – a map that works consistently across the road networks. [Some] 380,000km of roads for safe autonomous driving.”

The TomTom HD Map with RoadDNA is a digital map product which helps autonomous vehicles locate themselves on the road and plan manoeuvres, even when travelling at high speeds. The TomTom HD Map is already available for the majority of major highways in the US and Europe.
