HARMAN presents Ready Aware at MWC Barcelona, a new, vehicle-to-Cloud software service that provides in-vehicle contextual alerts to enhance a driver’s situational awareness at intersections and other potential road hazards.
Robust, scalable and secure, Ready Aware from HARMAN is now available to OEMs for new production and existing connected vehicles in North America, Europe, and India.
Ready Aware’s digital approach ensures drivers are given precise, relevant, and near real-time contextual insights. It supports more than 15 use cases, alerting drivers to potential hazards including objects on the road and stationary vehicles.
It is the first V2N production-ready solution delivering latency sensitive ‘hard braking ahead’ alerts warning drivers of impending congestion.
It draws on data from road hazards, intersections, and connected vehicles to improve contextual awareness. Its Cloud-based analytics engine utilises digital twins and machine learning to better understand the surrounding envrionment in real-time and deliver accurate insights.
“HARMAN leverages over a decade of vehicle-to-everything expertise to deliver contextually meaningful alerts that help drivers make safer decisions on the road,” said Suman Sehra, Global Vice President, Connectivity Portfolio Management, HARMAN International. “Ready Aware is an innovative and highly scalable solution that is helping OEMs transform their in-vehicle experiences by bringing contextual awareness into the cabin with an accelerated time to market. HARMAN is harnessing the power of connectivity and data analytics to make mobility safer, more intelligent and contextually aware to support drivers and occupants.”
Announced at MWC 2025, HARMAN and HERE Technologies are working together to develop advanced, direct and Cloud-based vehicle-to-everything (V2X) driver assistance systems that can support automotive OEMs’ compliance with Euro NCAP 2026 driver assistance programmes. The road alert use cases will provide advanced alerts for accidents, stationary vehicles and wrong-way drivers.
“HERE and HARMAN will collaborate to deliver accurate, dynamic road alerts that can improve vehicle safety for drivers and support OEMs in meeting evolving NCAP requirements for connected and software-defined vehicles. Our goal is to support OEMs as they address safety challenges, including informing the vehicle about potential hazards ahead, while accelerating time to market for their products,” said Anssi Saarimäki, Senior Director Product Management, ADAS and Automated Driving Solutions, HERE Technologies.
At MWC 2025, HARMAN and HERE will demonstrate Ready Aware’s support of the current Euro NCAP 2023 speed assist systems requirements, with further Euro NCAP 2026 use cases and DFRS (Data for Road Safety) integration to be added in the near future.
