Daimler CFO Bodo Uebber told the German media last week that the company is paying close attention to the situation, and high-definition maps are a prerequisite for autonomous driving.
The three major automakers may each contribute 700 million euros to reach HERE's offer, but this price is likely to be surpassed by technology companies with higher valuations and more cash flow. Earlier, according to the New York Times, Uber has submitted a $3 billion bid.
Some investment bankers said they hope that private offerings will join the auto industry and establish an industrial consortium that is not dominated by individual companies to conduct joint bidding.
