HERE is at the center of innovation in Volvo's XC90 – Connected and Automated Driving
This is not your mother's Volvo, but what a tech editor called one of the "most advanced vehicles on the road." Why?

HERE provides precise road geometry necessary for adaptive cruise control and curve speed warnings, as well as traffic sign detection. The large tablet-like interface of the Sensus in-car control system stunningly displays maps to deliver the information the driver needs across multiple screens. Vital information — including navigation from HERE — is projected on the heads-up display on the lower part of the windscreen. Click here to read more.
