HERZLIYA, Israel and SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Otonomo Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: OTMO), the platform powering the mobility economy, today announced that Microsoft Maps has selected Otonomo to support and improve its global mapping products and services. The streaming connected vehicle data provided by Otonomo will allow Microsoft to develop enhancements to its mapping services for Microsoft Maps users across Microsoft Azure, Windows, Microsoft 365 and Bing, including providing current traffic conditions, accident notification and route optimization.
Microsoft will use connected vehicle data—including traffic data, road safety events and road sign data—to enrich and validate its current road network data. With these additional data sets, Microsoft can derive additional insights to support its mapping products and services, such as new road geometry or turn restrictions. Microsoft’s mapping products and services include its own branded solutions and licensed third-party offerings.
“Microsoft’s robust mapping services offer a wealth of detailed location and traffic data to its users across the company’s ecosystem of services, platforms and applications,” said Ben Volkow, CEO and co-founder at Otonomo. “We’re pleased that Microsoft recognized the benefit of the breadth, depth and quality of the connected vehicle data that runs through Otonomo.”
“The connected vehicle data available through Otonomo will provide a meaningful and high-impact addition to our current processing chains and data sets. We look forward to using Otonomo’s data to enhance our Maps,” said Russell Dicker, CVP Maps and Local at Microsoft.
