MapBox’s main technology is about consolidating many map sources into one, but the company is also leveraging its tech for more defined maps geared toward autonomous driving. The new services are being deployed in Taiwan first, where the company had yet to enable its in-car navigation app, but the new modules are in all vehicles and could technically be enabled by Tesla in its other markets. Several sources confirmed to Electrek that with its most recent updates, Tesla has started pushing new modules from MapBox, an open source mapping platform for custom designed maps, and Valhalla, an open source routing engine for navigation, in its fleet. The company started updating its maps and navigation systems using MapBox and Valhalla. Self-driving technology is reliant on maps and positioning, which is why Tesla is leading several different efforts to improve maps as part of this transition to autonomous driving and now it is adding new ones. Maps are becoming increasingly important in vehicles and not just for navigation.
