DeepMap Recognized in 2019 Gartner Hype Cycle Reports

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DeepMap, a leading provider of HD mapping solutions for autonomous driving, today announced it has been identified as a sample vendor in two Gartner Hype Cycle Reports:

• Hype Cycle for Automotive Electronics (i) – HD Maps
• Hype Cycle for Display and Vision (ii) – HD Maps

"In the self-driving era, HD maps are an integral part of the car's brain," said James Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of DeepMap. "We believe being named by Gartner as a sample vendor reflects the progress we've made in developing leading-edge mapping technology for customers since our founding in 2016."

Gartner analyst Jonathan Davenport commented: "High definition (HD) maps are developed as an additional layer on top of traditional navigation maps to provide details necessary for autonomous vehicles to adapt their driving strategy, plan maneuvers, localize and improve the comfort of driving. These maps provide a centimeter-level accuracy of 3D road geometry, boundaries, and permitted traffic routes, along with semantic information about the environent (for example, position of traffic lights and road signs)."
