via GPS BusinessNews:<\/a><\/p>\n

On a sunny afternoon in Boston I jumped in the front passenger seat of a TomTom branded, 2015 Ford Escape. But this was not for an usual ride since the vehicle was featuring a full array of high tech gear attached to the roof rack: a Velodyne Lidar camera, a 360 degree camera, two SICK radars, and high precision GPS and GLONASS antennas.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An article about my colleagues, the office I work and the things we\u2019re working on as a company. I\u2019ve never seen an article written so openly about our company in a very long time. For those of you that sometimes ask me what I do for work, this will give a great insight into our mapping division.<\/p>\n

I work for an awesome company. We\u2019re accomplishing great things!!!<\/p>\n
