As part of a growing partnership, General Motors (GM) will integrate advanced mapping technology developed by Mobileye into forthcoming auto launches, the companies announced at CES on Wednesday night. Mobileye's technology aims to improve the precise lane data and driver location for development of self-driving cars, using crowd-sourced, real-time data collected by the user pool to create continuously updated maps. Mobileye calls the technology "Road Experience Management," or REM. Mobileye also announced a strategic partnership with Volkswagen to "explore and integrate" the REM technology in Volkswagen autos and a third original equipment manufacturer customer, of comparable size, is expected to be announced in 2016. Volkswagen is entering into a strategic partnership with Mobileye, a technology leader in the area of automated image processing. The announcement comes as GM has been working closely with Mobileye, which was acquired last year by German automaker Daimler (DAIGn.
