How in-vehicle infotainment and navigation can evolve to beat the smartphone

The modern car has a problem. Not with electrification. Not with automation. Not with navigation. Not even with connectivity. It’s deeper than any one feature alone. The modern car has a problem with comparison.

Location Intelligence: The ground for AI to stand on

AI is no longer only about assistants, it’s starting to reason, decide, and in some cases, take action. Though it can process enormous amounts of data and create multi-step workflows, its decisions are only as correct as its understanding of the real world. It needs constant, accurate and reliable access to reality, as it happens. This connection to the real world makes or breaks the efficacy of AI for businesses. Context is crucial and TomTom’s location intelligence provides it.

The next chapter in electric driving isn't about EVs

Two years ago, TomTom published an ambitious roadmap for how it would support the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market. A lot has changed since then — in the market, in the technology and inside TomTom itself. Drew Meehan, whose remit has grown from an EV specialism to the full spectrum of destination and in-car services, reflects on what the company has achieved, where the industry is heading and what TomTom is building to support it.

From proxies to precision: How to better understand risk as an auto insurer

The business of insurance is a business of balance. If insurers price policies too high, they risk losing customers. At the same time, if policies are priced too low, losses pile up and profitability suffers. How do insurers strike the right balance?

From fixed machines to evolving platforms: The new challenge for carmakers

Today’s cars are shaped by disruption. They are defined less by what sits under the hood and more by the software that shapes the experience behind the wheel. As AI, electrification, connected services and driver expectations advance, carmakers face a new challenge: how to build vehicles resilient to change and that keep improving long after they leave the factory.

The hidden cost of low-quality traffic data

When public agencies or insurance businesses choose traffic data on price alone, the real cost isn’t just what shows up in the procurement line, it’s what shows up in the decisions that follow.

Football World Championship 2026 puts pressure on US-Mexico border crossings

As the Football World Championship 2026 nears its end, its impact extends far beyond the stadium. New TomTom traffic data reveals rising congestion at several key U.S.–Mexico land border crossings, highlighting how a global sporting event can reshape mobility patterns across an entire region. Using proprietary traffic data from six major gateways — Calexico, Otay Mesa, San Ysidro, Santa Teresa, El Paso and Laredo — we compared conditions during the opening weeks of the tournament with the same period in 2025 to identify how cross-border travel behavior changed as fans, teams and tournament-related activity.

The World Cup Final: What to expect on New York's roads

It's hard to predict what will happen inside MetLife Stadium on July 19. But with the right data, predicting what happens on the roads outside is a different story. By analyzing traffic conditions during the seven Football World Cup matches played at MetLife Stadium so far, TomTom has identified three patterns likely to shape the day of the Final.

The people behind the map: How TomTom teams keep cities moving during the Football World Championship

A few hours before kick-off, the city starts to shift. Roads that were open that morning begin to close. Shuttle routes replace regular traffic. Fans pour out of train stations, rideshare drivers circle temporary pick-up zones, and downtown streets begin to look less like everyday corridors and more like part of the stadium experience. Somewhere behind the scenes, a TomTom team is watching the map change with it.
