Here revealed 'Lanes' at CES, which is a 3D road model that will help self-driving cars operate in new environments. The 3D road model is able to provide information to the car, which will help it orient itself in a lane. Here Lanes is able to take information from the topology of a lane, and compile it into what Here has named 'attribute data.' The system is also able to take information pertaining to the traffic regulations of the area.
Cars will be able to use information from Here Lanes in combination with its existing navigation systems. Overall Here's 3D road model could drastically improve the safety of self-driving cars, especially when driving in a new environment.
