  • Nokia's (NOK +2.4%) Here mapping and navigation software/services unit, which will be staying with the company following the Microsoft deal, is partnering with Mercedes-Benz to create custom solutions for self-driving cars.
  • Nokia and Mercedes will leverage the former's basic mapping/navigation data, and then add information such as "how many lanes there are, what direction they go in, what traffic signs are along the route, and the precise location of traffic lights."
  • Though Mercedes won't be releasing fully self-driving cars in the near-term, its 2014 S-Class cars already offer "semi-autonomous features such as tracking lanes, automatically controlling brakes and acceleration to dynamically follow traffic in intelligent cruise-control."
  • Here also has deals with auto subsystem makers Continental and Magneti Marelli. Nokia announced a navigation/infotainment platform for automakers two weeks ago, and has frequently talked up the auto market's potential.
