TomTom (TOM2), the location technology specialist, has been awarded
a global multi-year deal to power Ford’s next-generation SYNC® with
its real-time traffic service. Ford’s all-new 2021 F-150 pickup –
revealed just days ago – and the soon to be delivered all-electric
Mustang Mach-E SUV are the first Ford vehicles available with the
technology.
TomTom Traffic provides accurate, real-time
traffic information, which will keep Ford drivers informed and can
help them reduce their travel time. TomTom’s traffic service
processes over 70 million driving hours every day, derived from
billions of de-identified data points. By updating its big data
every 30 seconds, TomTom can predict traffic before it even
happens.
“Automakers choose TomTom Traffic for its
accuracy, freshness and reliability,” said Antoine Saucier,
Managing Director, TomTom Automotive. “Ford’s decision to include
TomTom Traffic in its new SYNC connected vehicle technology is
another step towards our vision of a world free of congestion.”
