The Volvo EX90 will feature Google’s new HD map, designed to improve the car's assisted driving capabilities. By combining lidar, cameras, and radars, the system will offer detailed, real-time road information to help the car better understand its surroundings. This advancement moves Volvo closer to its goal of autonomous driving in the future. For more details, check out the press release here.

Volvo and Polestar are partnering with Google to add highly detailed maps to their EV, like the EX90 and Polestar 3. They're combining this with their car's sensors to enhance self-driving functions. I'm wondering how this collaboration will affect the performance of features like Pilot Assist and if it will give them a competitive advantage. I'm also concerned about data privacy and I'd like to know if anyone has used these types of maps before. Are we seeing significant steps towards fully autonomous vehicles?
