HERE, Lotus Bring Highway Navigation On Autopilot To Global Markets

KUALA LUMPUR, April 24 (Bernama) -- HERE Technologies, a mapping and location data company, and Lotus have announced a major milestone in their global collaboration with the debut of Lotus’ first overseas integrated navigation and Highway Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) solution.

The launch marks the first time a Chinese automaker has introduced a unified cockpit navigation and Highway NOA system for international markets, underscoring a step in China’s automotive push toward global innovation leadership.

According to HERE Technologies in a statement, the rollout builds on Lotus’ earlier deployments in China and the subsequent European introduction of HERE Navigation across its electric vehicle (EV) portfolio.

Lotus’ digital cockpit uses HERE Navigation and HERE’s live map as its foundation, enabling EV-aware routing, range assistance and over-the-air updates.

Building on this, the collaboration is extending into Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Highway NOA, as it expands across the Asia Pacific, North America and the Middle East.

By leveraging HERE’s AI-powered live map for advanced ADAS capabilities, Lotus drivers gain precise localisation, accurate road geometry, reliable speed limit information and automated lane change.

The system also supports Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), introduced in Europe to meet regulatory requirements, highlighting the role of HERE’s mapping intelligence in enabling both safety and driving automation.

The partnership reinforces the long-term collaboration between HERE and Lotus and their shared goal of advancing connected and automated driving experiences globally.
