Company Bio
Industry: Automotive Technology / ADAS & Autonomous Driving
Location: Europe
Company Size: Enterprise automotive technology provider
Company Overview
The client is a German global automotive technology supplier, actively operating in ADAS, automated driving, and mobility software. They deliver enterprise-grade HD mapping solutions for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, enabling lane-level localization and navigation across complex urban road networks to support advanced driver-assistance and autonomous driving programs.
Services Provided:
3D HD Map Annotation (Lane-Level & Regulatory Elements), Expert Review, AI-Assisted Labeling, Positional Accuracy Validation (IoU), Secure Client-Hosted Processing
Project Overview:
The project focused on building and validating high-definition (HD) 3D maps to support ADAS and autonomous driving use cases across complex European urban environments. Mindy Support was engaged to provide large-scale 3D annotation and expert validation of road infrastructure elements within the client’s proprietary HD mapping platform. The engagement covered multi-region datasets, long production cycles, and continuous quality monitoring to ensure stable, production-ready outputs for downstream automotive applications.
Business Challenge:
Accurate HD maps are safety-critical for ADAS and autonomous driving systems, requiring consistent, centimeter-level precision across all annotated elements. The client faced challenges related to complex lane geometries, dense traffic environments, frequent occlusions, and temporary road changes, all of which increased annotation complexity and error risk. In addition, the project required a partner capable of scaling quickly without compromising quality, operating securely within a client-hosted environment, and maintaining strict delivery timelines aligned with automotive development cycles.
Why Mindy Support
Mindy Support was selected for its proven ability to deliver high-precision data services for safety-critical AI systems at enterprise scale. With deep expertise in 3D annotation, ADAS workflows, and multi-level quality control, the team ensured consistent accuracy across complex urban environments and long production cycles. Mindy Support’s flexible engagement model, secure client-hosted operations, and strong focus on annotator training and expert validation made it a reliable long-term partner for the client’s HD mapping and autonomous driving programs.
