The Hyundai Motor Group has partnered with Google to integrate Google Maps into the infotainment systems of its Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles. The company plans to launch this initiative with Kia fashion brands in North America first, before expanding globally to other Hyundai Motor Group manufacturers.
The partnership aims to enhance navigation and infotainment capabilities by leveraging the robust features of Google Maps Platform’s Locations API. The API provides access to comprehensive location information, including business hours, contact details, ratings, and reviews for over 250 million locations globally. Instead of limited navigation integration, this collaboration leverages enriched location-based data to significantly boost the accuracy and performance of in-car systems.
