Here comes the Vroom: Here Technologies' vehicle maps Cyprus in 3D

Utilising advanced technology, Here Technologies, the global leader in digital mapping and location services, will map parts of Cyprus with high-precision three-dimensional (3D) imaging.

This endeavor aims to create the most advanced and updated digital maps globally.

According to a relevant announcement from the company, The detailed maps created will be integrated into autonomous vehicles and other advanced services, enhancing road safety, contributing to the reduction of traffic congestion, and enabling people to easily navigate urban areas, as data for each road will be available at any time and with high accuracy.

Furthermore, the vehicle of Here, prominently displaying the company's logo, will not only capture three-dimensional and street images but also record points of interest such as shops, gas stations, and restaurants.

Here is committed to collecting and processing all this information with the utmost respect for citizens' privacy, its announcement notes. Through a continuous process that does not disrupt the normal flow of traffic, the captured images stored in the vehicle will be transferred in encrypted form to a secure location. Subsequently, the images will be processed using top-notch software and advanced algorithms to detect and blur faces and license plates, ensuring publishing ability. In the rare case that an image is published without proper processing, Here facilitates anyone reporting it so that the error can be rectified.
