Primary Challenges; assimilating a variety of different data sources including traffic, infrastructure and weather, simulation scaling for city operations and real-time deployment of decision support system for fleets and cities

Key Successes: Delivered a new category of scalable fleet management tools, created a platform which can simulate anywhere in the world, developed an accessible, customisable user interface, integrated simulation engine with third party modules including SpatialOS, Unity and delivered user-focused trials in the UK’s world-leading CAV testbed environments

Valerann
Valerann turns roads into data generating infrastructure that sense everything that happens at every single point on the road network (traffic flow, road risks, accidents, road surface conditions, visibility, etc.). This forms the basis for the first complete road data platform the can provide data from the roads to all stakeholders. Over the past two years we developed a first commercial system. Deployed our system in the Washington Beltway (I-95) in the US, on the M1 Motorway in the UK and in Israel's busiest motorway (Ayalon). We have recently raised $6M and have partnered with major OEMs and Tier1 manufacturers.

“Our approach regarding HMI is entirely focused on giving our customers the best, the easiest and the most comfortable experience. 3 word addresses are simple to use, meaning drivers can give their car any precise destination,
and know they’re  navigating to the correct location.'

 

Sajjad Khan, Executive VicePresident, Mercedes-Benz.

Mercades-Benz became the first automaker to launch what3words in vehicles

A recent JD Power survey found that car navigation systems being difficult to use and inaccurate is one of the most frequently reported problems, along with voice recognition issues. The automotive industry has struggled to improve these features, because the world’s street addressing systems are incompatible with modern navigation needs, especially voice input. 

Addresses were not built for voice input. 240 California Street and to 40 California Street are hard for a voice system to distinguish between, and many road names aren’t unique. There are 14 different Church Roads in London, 632 Juarez Streets in Mexico City and 71 Peachtree Streets in Atlanta. Every 3 word address is unique and the AutoSuggest feature helps correct mistakes, making sure drivers reach the correct destination, every time. 

what3words enables Mercedes-Benz drivers to input 3 words to reach any 10ftx 10ft location. This allows drivers to input not just a building, but a precise entrance or parking spot, for a truly seamless experience.
