HERE introduces AI-powered, live map intelligence for NOA use cases at Auto China 2026

HERE's lane-level intelligence helps Chinese automakers deploy consistent L2++ automated driving in international markets HERE Predictive Signal Timing to support intersection intelligence for smoother automated driving, backed by nominations of leading Chinese innovators including Baidu Maps to accelerate global rollout Beijing, Auto China 2026 – HERE Technologies , the leading mapping and location data company, today unveiled new Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) capabilities at Auto China 2026. The solutions are designed to help automakers deploy consistent Level 2++ automated driving experiences across international markets. As automated driving moves from validation to real-world delivery, automakers must ensure predictable vehicle performance across diverse road networks, regulations and driving conditions. HERE addresses this challenge by enabling automakers to orchestrate navigation, automated driving functions and infrastructure awareness through a single, AI-powered road model that continuously supports both human navigation and machine planning. This shared "ground truth" helps build trust and clear driver expectations for vehicle behavior. HERE Predictive Signal Timing for more predictable automated driving behavior As automated driving capabilities mature, automakers require real-time intersection intelligence to deliver smoother, safer driving experiences in dense urban environments. Currently in its development phase, the AI-powered HERE Predictive Signal Timing will improve both human and automated driving. The service will combine real-time traffic signal phase and timing (SPaT) data with historic signal patterns and machine-learned traffic behavior to make predictive information about upcoming ...
