CES 2024: HERE and Uber join forces to enhance precise mapping

Together, the two tech giants will help provide safe and more accurate drop-off and pick-up points at locations, including airports, stadiums, arenas and high-traffic areas globally.

CES 2024 is off to a showstopping start.

Not only has HERE been selected by Uber to drive precise mapping and geolocation functionalities, but HERE location data will also be used to enhance the ridesharing company’s user experience and efficiency around the world — across both Uber’s mobility and delivery businesses.

With millions of rides a day, this means HERE will help work together to help provide safe and more accurate drop-off and pick-up points at locations, including airports, stadiums, arenas and high-traffic areas globally.

“In a fast moving world, Uber’s partnership with HERE helps enable Uber to remain a leader in this space with heightened fresh and accurate data, and we’re excited to continue building with them.”

“In a fast-moving world, Uber’s partnership with HERE helps enable us to remain a leader in this space with heightened fresh and accurate data, and we’re excited to continue building with them.”
