Audi is open to other carmakers joining the consortium bidding for Nokia Oyj’s HERE maps business, the auto manufacturer’s research and development chief Ulrich Hackenberg said.
“It’s important to ensure free availability of the data,” Hackenberg said on the sidelines of the Volkswagen AG luxury-car unit’s shareholder meeting in Neckarsulm, Germany. “Data management will play an important role in the future,” and geographic data is particularly interesting for carmakers, he said.
