ThunderSoft has entered a strategic partnership with Here Technologies, a leader in location data and technology platform, to enhance intelligent navigation and high-definition maps. The collaboration, announced Nov. 14, aims to support the development of navigation systems and contribute to a more connected and intelligent mobility ecosystem.

The partnership plans to integrate ThunderSoft's Aqua Drive OS with AI and Here's location data and services, including its software development kit (SDK), high-definition (HD) map and autonomous driving solutions, to provide a foundation for developers to create intelligent system platforms. Additionally, the collaboration will offer tailored intelligent navigation solutions tailored for international markets, addressing the diverse needs of automotive manufacturers and consumers.

The companies also intend to develop immersive and interactive 3D high-definition mapping solutions by merging Here's map data with ThunderSoft's Kanzi Map engine, setting a new standard in intelligent driving and navigation. Here Location Services will be incorporated into internet of things (IoT) and industrial applications, further advancing the digital and intelligent transformation of the smart industry. 

The Aqua Drive OS by ThunderSoft is designed for centralized computing and AI-driven vehicles, meeting automakers' needs for cockpit-driving integration and reducing costs efficiently.
