Ik vind wel dat TomTom zich voortaan wat positiever en explicieter
moet uitlaten over haar voorsprong hoor
:-) :-)"Some time ago – maybe a year and a half ago – we had to almost convince some people in the industry that mapping is required for self-driving cars" (JM de Vries)
"We are already collaborating with a number of Tier 1s and OEMs in R&D partnerships, which contrasts with companies we believe are doing more of a PR stunt" (JM de Vries)
"die voorsprong op HERE is er nog steeds. Een soortgelijk platform bouwen kost je zeker 3 jaar" (H Goddijn)
"real-time verwerking en delivery, dat kan nog niemand" (S. Hania)
"We are much more efficient than our closest competitor HERE) at producing maps, we have calculated that on a Euro per kilometer of maps our costs are about one third" (Eszter Pattantyus)
"Artificial intelligence, deep learning, to capture the data on a large scale in a very cost-effective way. That's where we're focusing on. (H. Goddijn)
"The future is not about driving mapping vans, the future is about getting all the value out of probe data" (C. Cautley")
"how is TomTom positioning itself against growing competition? It isn’t, says de Vries, as it is already ahead of them in the autonomous driving field. Key to this has been significant investment into the development of its new map-making platform. It is a massive long-term investment that has occupied a significant part of our engineering workforce for several years”. (JM de Vries)
"Our customer's engineers are impressed how far we've moved on, the state of our technology, a vision of how this will evolve over time. And I'm very optimistic that that will lead to further deals and further contract wins in 2016 and beyond, especially with car makers where, traditionally, we don't have a very strong relationship with."
"We are not HERE, we are already there" (A. de Taeye)
"We positioneren ons sterk voor de endgame" (P Wakkie)
