13. Enhanced Navigation and Mapping
Automakers are embracing next-generation navigation platforms, like GM’s collaboration with Mapbox, to deliver features tailored to modern driving needs. These systems provide real-time EV range calculations, charging station locations, and predictive routing—capabilities often missing from third-party options. By integrating advanced mapping directly into their infotainment, manufacturers can offer drivers smarter, more reliable guidance, especially as electric vehicles become more prevalent.
