Mercedes-Benz and Nokia are partnering up to construct a self-driving car, after all that is the next big thing, right? Nokia will start with its cloud-based location service, HERE. Upgrades to the system will be no easy task as the system must learn the exact measurement of lane widths, and the exact location of road signage, along with other similar details.
Nokia is likely putting quite a bit of effort into the project, since it just sold its phone division to Microsoft last week, which leaves its maps division as one of just three divisions left in the company.
