As a member, Intellias will contribute to development of the worldwide NDS map data standard for automotive and mobility ecosystems. The company strives to take an active role in further developing the NDS specification, including NDS.Live services, to widen the scope of NDS-based map applications and to make them available for automakers and system vendors.

Having vast experience working with NDS.Classic and custom map data formats on commercial projects, Intellias will share the company’s expertise with industry leaders to further improve and develop the most recent and in-demand NDS.Live map data specification, the next-generation map data standard that enables online map services and dynamic map management.

I believe NDS members have all the tools and expertise to take the fast lane by using and jointly evolving the worldwide standard for map data in automotive ecosystems.

“We are proud to become an NDS Association member and to contribute to the development of the NDS specification for map data and services.

Maps have become a critical part of safety systems, enabling autonomous driving and the efficient use of EV batteries. This strategic partnership allows us to join forces with industry leaders to drive a safe, predictable, and efficient tomorrow. To make this a reality, OEMs and technology companies must work together and come up with joint solutions.
