AccuWeather & Garmin To Show Off New Driver Centric Integrated Weather Innovation at TU-Automotive Show

Parsippany, NJ; AccuWeather and Garmin will be at the TU-Automotive Show in Detroit, June 6-7, 2018 at the Suburban Collection Showplace, Novi.

Over the last few years, AccuWeather has been working with Garmin and Ford to bring its unparalleled weather forecasting with superior accuracy to the world of the connected car. Why? Each year in the U.S., there are over 1.3 million crashes that are weather-related and AccuWeather, auto makers and companies like Garmin understand that new technology can help change that.

AccuWeather and Garmin will be showcasing a new Garmin head unit (booth #236) featuring a demonstration of AccuWeather Go, AccuWeather's new waypoint-based API that seamlessly integrates the patented AccuWeather MinuteCast Minute-by-Minute hyperlocal forecast data with navigation services based on a user's specific route. This next level of personalized weather innovation provides actionable information helping drivers better understand and navigate the weather situations they are and will encounter on the road. AccuWeather Go's hyperlocal data runs dynamic analysis of road segments as short as 1km, updating every 1 − 2 minutes to address rapidly changing conditions up to 2 hours out.
