Google is rolling out a brand-new high-definition version of Google Maps for cars with the tech giant’s native Android Automotive operation system. The HD maps will provide granular details that were not previously available, like lane markings, road signs, and traffic barriers.
The first vehicles to get the new HD maps will be the Volvo EX90, the Swedish automaker’s new flagship electric vehicle due out later this year, and the Polestar 3, the Volvo-backed performance marque’s first SUV.
