- HERE and Lotus bring Highway NOA to the global market with an AI-powered live map
- For drivers, the advanced solution delivers more consistent automated driving by combining navigation, safety features and NOA
Beijing, Auto China 2026 – HERE technologiesthe leading mapping and location data company, and Lotus today announced a major milestone in their global partnership with the debut of Lotus’s first overseas integrated navigation and Highway Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) solution. This launch marks the first time a Chinese automaker has introduced a unified cockpit navigation and Highway NOA system for international markets, marking a significant step in China’s automotive push for global innovation leadership.
The launch builds on Lotus’s success in China, where the company first deployed its domestic navigation program, and the subsequent European rollout of HERE Navigation across Lotus’ electric vehicle (EV) portfolio. Today, Lotus’ digital cockpit uses HERE navigation and HERE’s live map as the foundation for global scale, giving drivers advanced EV-aware routing, range assistance and over-the-air update functionality.
With this proven foundation, Lotus and HERE are now expanding the experience beyond navigation to support Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Highway Navigation on Autopilot (NOA), as the solution expands into Asia Pacific, North America and the Middle East.
“Our enhanced partnership with Lotus represents a new chapter in delivering industry-leading, safer NOA driving experiences,” said Deon Newman, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific. “The opportunities ahead are significant as we continue to push the boundaries of the digital cockpit and reimagine how drivers interact with intelligence, safety and personalization on every journey.”
Lotus’ new integrated navigation and Highway NOA solution, powered by HERE, delivers a next-generation cockpit navigation experience with smoother lane-level guidance, intelligent route planning and real-time situational awareness. Leveraging HERE’s industry-leading AI-powered live map for advanced ADAS capabilities, Lotus drivers will benefit from precise localization, accurate road geometry, reliable speed limit information and automatic lane changing.
The solution supports Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), introduced as part of Lotus’ European rollout to meet regulatory requirements, and further demonstrates how HERE’s live map intelligence can power both safety and driving automation functions within a single vehicle architecture.
“Working together with HERE, we can provide customers around the world with world-class streaming navigation and Highway NOA experience,” said Mr. Feng Qingfeng, Chief Executive Officer of Lotus Technology. “It demonstrates our commitment to innovation and our ambition to lead the next wave of intelligent driving technologies on the world stage.”
HERE Professional Services worked closely with Lotus to deliver a production-ready, scalable platform spanning navigation, ISA and NOA, applying deep automotive delivery expertise to support smooth global rollout of advanced driving capabilities.
The partnership strengthens the multi-year collaboration between HERE and Lotus and reflects both companies’ shared vision to advance premium connected and automated driving experiences worldwide.
