Aan Win Some en Pwijsneus beiden die beiden hetzelfde posten. Dan heb ik daar al antwoord op gegeven, het is beter om naar 2021 conference call te luisteren dan naar 2020 over de voortgang op HD maps.
Die luidde als volgt.
Francois-Xavier Bouvignies - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Technology Analyst
Okay. That's clear. And maybe last one for me. HD Maps. I mean you mentioned Toyota HD Maps. Can you tell a bit more about HD Maps? what's -- How is it changing versus last quarter? Is it more activity there? Anything you can give around that?
Harold C. A. Goddijn - TomTom N.V. - Co-Founder, Chairman of the Management Board & CEO
Yes, there's a lot of activity. I would like to include the whole ADAS development that's going faster than HD. The 2 are linked. They form, in a way, continuum, and especially on the ADAS side, we see a lot of activity taking place there. There is a new European directive called ISA which requires for proper traffic speed indication in the vehicle. There's a bit of a scramble going on to get that data into the vehicle. So we see a lot of activity on that side as well. So you see a steady increase in ADAS functionality, steady increase in the level of automation of vehicles, the reliability of that -- of those systems is going up. I think the full automated car is still elusive. We still don't know and as when that will happen. But the degree of automation that's taking place in vehicles is definitely increasing and improving rapidly. And a lot of those functions are based on databases and map content.

Tijden veranderen. HG tijdens cc Q4 2020:
"Then HD Map, a lot has been said, a lot has been done about HD map and about self-driving. We've seen initially great enthusiasm for HD and for self-driving technology. And we have seen announcements and introduction plans that have not been living up to expectations. Now --that HD Map and self-drivingisnot off the agenda, and we are stillworking and in close relationship, close contact with the number of customers who want to license HD Maps from us. But I think it's fair to say, and I said it in earlier calls as well, that the progress is not as fast as we had hoped for. And I don't think that has changed. So for us, visibility on a breakthrough in adaptation of HD Maps is not something -- that has come any closer than it was in the last earnings call."
Voorlopig hebben HD maps dus alleen maar veel R&D budget gekost en is er totaal geen zicht op wanneer dit wordt terugverdiend. Het geld zal voorlopig uit de groei van ADAS maps moeten komen

In het begin van het jaar zei Goddijn nog dit over de HD-maps:
