Mobileye: Vehicles with our optical sensors will collect significant data on the road

At its press conference at the CES, Intel announced a new collaboration between Israel's Mobilay and Ordnance Survey, the UK government mapping agency. As part of the collaboration, the high-resolution mapping and positioning data of the vehicles produced by the cameras installed in vehicles will be combined with the mapping data of the British government.
Vehicles traveling in the UK equipped with optical sensors will collect significant amounts of data on the road and road network and roadside infrastructure. The data will be combined with existing geographic data and will be used to create maps at unprecedented levels of accuracy. The product could be used, inter alia, by infrastructure, communications and energy companies to optimize the location of their service openings within roads, power poles or communication antennas.
"This transaction demonstrates the usability of the mapping innovation beyond future autonomous vehicles," said Intel. "This is an example of the unique mapping capabilities of our carriers, which allow to extend the value of location data to new businesses and segments of the market."
