AutoNavi Maps has announced the launch of the world's first AI-powered navigation system based on map data, officially available nationwide. This innovative initiative marks a shift in navigation services from traditional travel tools to a "thinking, predictive, and empathetic" intelligent travel companion.
The newly launched AI traffic light navigation feature represents a significant breakthrough in AutoNavi's intelligent navigation capabilities. Leveraging a powerful digital and AI-based ultra-long-range perception navigation system, this feature predicts optimal driving decisions at traffic lights, providing drivers with comprehensive support for navigating intersections. The launch of the AI traffic light navigation feature not only enhances the travel experience but also makes "always green lights" a possibility.
The AI traffic light navigation feature covers five key scenarios, encompassing all traffic light situations in urban settings. Specific features include:
Intersection Guidance: AI traffic light navigation provides drivers with audio guidance on passing through, waiting at, and corresponding driving suggestions for traffic lights. If successfully navigating the light, the app interface will display a success indicator.
Start-Up Reminder: AI traffic light navigation reminds drivers to start promptly and provides passing probability predictions and driving suggestions.
Shortest Lane Suggestion: While waiting at a traffic light, AI traffic light navigation intelligently analyzes traffic flow in each lane and provides lane suggestions.
Long/Short Light Prediction: When encountering long red or short green lights, AI traffic light navigation announces upcoming long red lights, indicating the waiting time (XX seconds), and displays a countdown bubble on the navigation screen, keeping drivers informed.
Obstructed Lane Alert: In complex lane scenarios, AI traffic light navigation proactively alerts drivers to turning vehicles from other directions, assisting them in making informed decisions.
This innovative feature from AutoNavi not only enhances the driving experience but also provides drivers with smarter, real-time navigation services through AI technology. AutoNavi stated that it will continue to drive the intelligent development of navigation services to provide users with a more convenient and efficient travel experience.
