SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Using Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband and TomTom HD Maps, the two companies work together to help improve public safety by beginning a 5G innovation project to make intersections safer for emergency vehicle crossings. The venture was announced during an onstage presentation at TechCrunch Disrupt SF, one of the world’s leading conferences for tech start-ups. More specifically, according to a press release, "Using TomTom HD Maps to create an essentially real-time 3D visualization of an intersection, along with near real-time kinematics and the Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband network, the goal of this initiative is to enable the sharing of location information coming from all entities at the intersection with emergency vehicles in near real-time with near-perfect reliability and accuracy." “TomTom and Verizon already have a long history and this collaboration project emphasizes TomTom’s partnership mindset in exploring new opportunities for our customers’ success,” Anders Truelsen, Managing Director at TomTom Enterprise, said in the release.
