    Dit artikel gaat over MapBox, maar ik post het niet vanwege MapBox. Het gaat over hoe autofabrikanten met start-ups omgaan: veeleisend, onbetrouwbaar en ze stellen hoge continuiteitseisen (aan mapmakers), die een leveringsverplichting moeten kunnen aangaan van 10 jaar en met bewezen technologie. Daar liep tomtom ooit tegenaan rond 2010 (hardware strategie schaalde niet en tomtom was teveel gericht op disruptie in plaats van het helpen versnellen van de auto industrie.

    Inmiddels is tomtom een gevestigde speler in de auto industrie en zullen startups (ook in HD maps) oplopen tegen de cultuur en structuur in de auto industrie.

    ===

    End of the road for MapBox

    Startups targeting the automotive industry have familiar trajectories. Mapbox has locked into a particularly nasty one that already appears to be heading for the rocks.

    Most startups do not begin life pursuing automotive opportunities – and with good reason. The development cycles in the automotive industry are long – three-four years. Add in the process of vetting and testing by the auto makers and you’ll be seeing gray hairs before you see green backs.

    Car makers are also finicky. Car makers prefer to do business with large organizations that are familiar with “how the game is played.” Car makers prefer size because they expect suppliers to accept substantial liability for any failures or flaws and because they are fickle. Auto makers are prone to changing their minds and dropping a supplier without warning or compensation.

    Car makers also have to commit to delivering products that last for 10-15 years. Tiny little startups are like will o’ the wisps that flicker and fade in the face of fussy funding or flaky founders. Car makers will steer clear.

    Mapbox, the open-street-map-based mapping startup, sought to short circuit these short-timer assessments with the help of Softbank, which has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Mapbox. Mapbox combined its nimble OSM development platform with computer game-level graphics rendering to attract tens of thousands of developers and hundreds of millions of daily users.

    Within a few years, Mapbox was a substantial rival to Google and the two proceeded to duel for clients with competing rate plans. As Mapbox’s profile was rising in the mobile market for smartphone-based navigation, the company started bumping into TomTom and HERE, both of which have their own mobile mapping and navigation ambitions but are known more for their automotive portfolios.

    Suddenly, Mapbox looked like it might pass muster with auto makers with its clever SDK and massive and growing clientele. More importantly, Mapbox offered the kind of sexy graphical interface and nimble image rendering lacking in existing in-dash navigation solutions.

    Executives at a European car maker said they were sufficiently enamored of Mapbox’s SDK and rendering tools that the company jumped in and committed to combining HERE maps with Mapbox’s customer-facing front end. This was the turning point, which took place a couple years ago, when Mapbox’s flirtation with the automotive industry ought to have switched to a long-term commitment.

    The one thing that often kills a start up with an automotive affinity is that first deal. And hopping in bed with a car company is like sleeping with a hippopotamus. One wrong turn, and you’re finished. (HERE, with its thousands of engineers, has long understood this.)

    Auto makers are demanding. Automotive engineers and product managers require changes and enhancements and suppliers, having won their first deal, are powerless to resist.

    Mapbox ought to have responded to the European OEM “win” immediately with additional sales, marketing, and engineering resources. Instead, Mapbox suffered a hemorrhaging of leadership across the board and instinctively turned to its self-serve business model - not a wise move in a high touch market like automotive.

    Resources ought to have been added to meet the European OEM’s engineering requirements while simultaneously seeking to build on that initial success with additional automotive accounts. Since the European OEM win, Mapbox has added a couple other deals. That’s it.

    Mapbox has now committed itself to supporting a single, demanding, relatively low volume auto maker without offering much in the way of unique auto-centric intellectual property or innovation and a core map that is open source. It is perhaps no surprise that competitors have emerged in the form of MapTiler and others essentially replicating the Mapbox playbook with sexy rendering and a nimble SDK plunked on top of OSM.

    In an effort to throw a new paint job on an old model, Mapbox has named Peter Sirota CEO, replacing founder Eric Gundersen, now overseeing strategy and the Board. It’s not a pretty picture.

    Just as Mapbox is seeking to take on Googlemaps and HERE and TomTom all at once it is facing OSM rivals already stealing business on the mobile side thereby eroding the usage figures and revenue forecasts, which were previously pointing toward $100M.

    Steering Mapbox toward automotive opportunities at precisely the moment its mobile clients are straying from the fold – including some larger clients such as Facebook – suddenly looks like unsound strategy. The move for automotive also follows a failed courting of Amazon, which opted for HERE. Mapbox may even have been banking on an Amazon acquisition.

    Mapbox’s fatal flaw is likely its inability – in spite of its open source roots – to enable the integration of crowd-sourced inputs for automotive navigation. At a time when map makers are increasingly leveraging fleet-based data aggregation to enable autonomous driving, Mapbox has no hand, no story to tell.

    A spiffy rendering platform and clever SDK got Mapbox a seat at the table, but it’s the kids’ table. At a time when map market leaders are targeting higher definition mapping solutions for automated driving, Mapbox is only able to offer up snappy graphics. Mapbox needs more than a new CEO. It needs an entirely new strategy or may simply have to stick to its knitting in the mobile market duking it out with an emerging crop of competitors. That is the beginning of the end.

    Connected mobility in 2021: New priorities for map tech makers

    A new year finds the transportation industry facing new priorities and new metrics to measure success.

    “Mobility” changed the focus of transportation in 2019.

    This new reality was made abundantly clear during an analyst briefing in early November 2020, when mapping company HERE identified four targeted market sectors for its map offerings: transport and logistics (€11.3B total addressable market [TAM] in 2025); tech, media and telecommunications (€7.3B TAM in 2025); automotive (€3.8B TAM in 2025); and public sector and infrastructure (€1.3B TAM in 2025).* (All TAM – total addressable market – estimates were supplied by HERE.)

    Clearly, for map market leader HERE automotive was not its primary objective. Also clear from HERE's market size estimates: smart cities (public sector and infrastructure) will not pay the piper.

    Shifting sectors amid market transformation
    While automotive navigation may have brought HERE to the ball decades ago and keeps the lights on to this day, it is clear that transport and logistics (T&L) is the business that now promises the lion’s share of growth. More importantly, the T&L sector promises that most elusive commodity in the mapping sector: profit.

    HERE had adopted this T&L messaging as early as 2018, prior to the transformation of the market by the pandemic. Both HERE and archrival TomTom have built solid, but mature, businesses, around automotive navigation – both portable and built-in.

    The business is solid because it is reliable and steadily growing. It is mature because the profit margins are narrow and getting leaner.

    Where traffic information once ruled the navigation sector – with HERE and TomTom and INRIX vying for global domination with Waze – route optimization has become the dominant application.

    The pandemic simultaneously exposed the vulnerability of supply chains and, with the onset of vaccines, put a premium on distribution logistics. At the same time, everyone from consumers to commercial interests and politicians have developed a need to understand how and where people are moving.

    New tasks for networked transport
    Networked transportation resources – for people and goods – have been given new tasks. Some are needed to bring goods and services to people, who had been told to remain in their homes. Others are needed to deliver essential workers to business locations and patients to hospitals.

    Other emerging players in the mapping space such as Mapbox and RideOS have also recognized the need for mobility and delivery companies to accurately and efficiently route people, packages and pizzas to their correct destinations. Both these companies have significant private valuations having raised hundreds of millions of dollars based on the promise to address this market. (TomTom and HERE are oddly perceived as having less value, relatively speaking, in our upside-down Internet economy where actually having paying customers is perceived as a shortcoming by investors.)

    Sadly for HERE, Mapbox, TomTom and RideOS, Google, too, saw the potential emergence of this transport and logistics sector. The company launched its Google Maps Platform for on-demand ride sharing and delivery service providers also in 2018.

    HERE launched its own initiative within a new division – HERE Mobility – focusing on people moving and seeking to aggregate taxi operators and multimodal transportation decision-making globally. This Israel-based operation perhaps surprisingly shut down in July 2020. (This group's failure may have derived from its effort to simultaneously deliver both a B2B AND a B2C solution, directly competing with potential B2B customers. It's a tale yet to be told.)

    The difference between the Google Maps Platform and HERE Mobility was Google’s focus on offering a turnkey solution for networked service delivery operators offering:

    -Routes preferred – showing driver’s estimated time of arrival (ETA), expected route, estimated trip price
    -Nearby drivers – locating the nearest driver or courier
    -In-app navigation – essentially live route optimization and task management
    -Trip and order progress – real-time status of pickup and delivery with ETAs

    The navigation battleground of the past was traffic information.
    But Google has quietly changed the foundation of the discussion.

    New metrics for the new normal
    The new metric intended to separate the leaders from the contenders is ETA. Traffic information remains important, but Google is now building upon its traffic information credibility - established by Google Maps and Waze – by emphasizing ETA.

    Where is my product? Where are my drivers? Where am I? When am I going to arrive?

    For Uber and Lyft, food and package delivery services are being relied on to rescue flagging revenue and profits. It's an existential crisis for these enterprises. Solving this puzzle, optimizing these operations, is the key to unlocking HERE’s purported €11.3B TAM.

    But it isn’t just package and people delivery. The future of all transportation will revolve around a connected, networked proposition only hinted at within the world of geofenced roboshuttles and the hundreds of robotaxi wannabes.

    Google’s Map Platform is pressuring the Ridecells, Vulogs, Invers, Wunder Mobilitys, and Bestmiles of the world to defend their middleware positions in the market. UPS, Fedex, DHL, Amazon and all commercial fleet operators will need to look closely at their logistics strategies. These delivery-centric organizations were caught out with insufficient resources to meet explosive pandemic demand.

    This is forcing HERE and TomTom to rethink their go-to-market strategies. HERE claimed a notable end-of-year win when Amazon Web Services chose HERE maps to allow developer partners to add location awareness to their apps. (AWS rival Azure is notably partnered with TomTom.)

    Google is setting a new standard. HERE and TomTom are stirring.
    ETA accuracy is the dominant metric of success.

    Let the contest begin.

    Mailbox versus Tesla

    In 2018, MapBox acquired a routing engine named 'Vallhalla', which is now part of the core API MapBox provides to users and enterprise clients like Tesla, Facebook, and many more. MapBox claims they gather data from millions of devices that their application is a part of and they reach at least 600 million people a month.

    Ira Ehrenpreis had the original pre-order placed for the first-ever production Tesla Model 3. Later, he gifted his spot to Elon Musk. Ehrenpreis actually sits on the board of both Tesla and MapBox so the bond between the two companies is strong. Nevertheless, with billions of miles of Autopilot data, Tesla will want to handle much of their proprietary information themselves. In the past, Tesla had ended its partnerships with Mobileye and NVIDIA and developed their own self-driving software and hardware.

    Prachtig artikel winsome. Mag ook gezegd worden na soms wat kinnesinne. Ik laat kleine stukjes staan.

    Over het onderstreepte

    - Dat HERE minder wil in Automotive had ik hier ook gepost. Ze willen niet meer voor 80% afhankelijk zijn van automotive omzet. Ze zien elders grotere kansen en richten nu hun R&D en marketing/sales daar op. Voor TomTom heel goed nieuws. 3,8 miljard euro marktomvang daar pis ik niet op en dat is veel meer dan nu. Dit is een markt waarin HERE en TomTom momenteel een near-monopoly hebben en zo’n 1,2 miljard omzet uit halen (here 900 mio, TT 300 mio).

    TomTom wint hier marktaandeel van HERE door technologische voorsprong en in plaats van terug te vechten door de R&D in automotive te vergroten en TT’s realtime mapmaking aan te vallen zet HERE een stap opzij omdat ze in transport en logistiek een markt van 11 miljard zien. Dezelfde move heeft UBER gemaakt; die hebben hun zelfrijdende auto onderzoek unit met verlies verkocht en wat hen financieel boven water houdt is UBER EATS.

    Ik kan niet anders zeggen dan dat dit heel gunstige ontwikkeling is voor TT:
    - een markt die groeit van ergens rond de 1,5 miljard (tt + here omzet + kleintjes) naar 3,2 miljard
    - een technologische voorsprong
    - marktleiderschap op nieuwe producten ADAS/HD maps
    - de grootste concurrent die het laat afweten, omdat ivm die 80% willen diversificeren.

    Ik zeg dat zonder daarmee HERE tekort te doen. Misschien worden ze wel erg succesvol in hun diversificatie. Ik gun het ze van harte.

    Ik denk dat TT een 40-50% marktaandeel kan halen. Tel uit je winst. Startups en nieuwkomers geef ik weinig kans. Zia het artikel over Mapbox. De auto industrie doet alleen zaken met gevestigde, solide partijen die ‘hun manier van werken’ kennen. De fase waar TT doorheen moest (ontwikkeltijd van 3-4 jaar en uitgebreide tests voordat je je eerste euro verdient) is voor startups gewoon een enorme drempel. We weten van TT hoe lang het duurt van deal op forum aangekondigd (‘PSA!!’) tot geld verdienen. Er ligt voor TomTom een automotive omzet in verschiet die vér boven het huidige ligt. Maar dat mag ook wel, daar is 10 jaar aan gebouwd en heeft extreem geduld gevraagd van beleggers (en gaat nog wel ff duren, de weg naar tomtom als bedrijf met omzet boven miljard)

    Over het tweede onderstreepte

    Als je alle vier die total adressable markets (TAMS) ziet, wat is er dan nog een hoop mogelijk voor zowel TomTom en HERE en natuurlijk ook Google.

    Die kansen in logistiek en licensing waar HERE zich ook gaat richten zijn TomTom ook niet onbekend. Voor de goede verstaander: Goddijn opende zijn toelichting op kwartaalcijfers niet met automotive maar hiermee:

    Looking back on the first half of 2021, our Enterprise unit showed a robust performance. We expanded our customer base in fleet logistics and on-demand markets, where we have a strong market presence already.

    www.google.nl/amp/s/seekingalpha.com/...

    De licensing tak is evengoed belangrijk naast automotive. Google is een formidabele concurrent maar er is markt zat en samen met Microsoft hebben ze ook een sterke hand.

    Derde onderstreepte:

    rake opmerking over de ‘upside down’ waardering in de interneteconomie: startups die verlies maken onduidelijk verdienmodel met hogere waarderingen dan winstgevende bedrijven. Ik denk echter dat dat post-pandemie ook kan veranderen. Dat zie je al doordat geld verplaatst van volledig zelfrijden met onduidelijkheic wanneer dat er is naar ADAS waar wel geld te verdienen is. Veoneer overname bevestigt dit.

    [...]

    Ik denk dat hier ook bij veel beleggers, mijzelf incluis, de frustratie ligt. De afgelopen 10 jaar heeft een B&H positie in TT bijzonder weinig opgeleverd. En al helemaal als je dit afzet tegenover andere tech aandelen. Dit is ook de reden dat ik zelf meer aan het handelen ben in het aandeel. Zo heb ik momenteel geen positie, omdat ik voor Q3 matige cijfers met bijbehorende koersreactie verwacht.

    Dat gezegd hebbende zie ik wel de potentie van TT en van de markt waar ze in zitten. En volg ik het aandeel, omdat er een moment kan komen waarop het wel kan lonen een B&H positie in te nemen. In 2019 dacht ik dat dit moment was gekomen. Door de verkoop van Telematics had er een aandelenreductie plaatsgevonden en er was op dat moment de potentie om een ten opzichte van 2018 groeiende FCF van meer dan 100 mio in de boeken te zetten. TT koos er in dat jaar echter voor om het R&D budget met 14% te verhogen in plaats van met de gebruikelijke 2-3%. Gevolg was een lagere FCF dan in 2018 en stagnatie van de koers.

    Op zich kan extra investeren een goed idee zijn, maar dan moet dit wel goed worden uitgelegd. Op de CMD in het najaar van 2019 heeft men dit alsnog proberen te doen, maar dit heeft nog geen groot enthousiasme bij beleggers los gemaakt. Het instorten van de autoverkopen door corona heeft hier natuurlijk niet meegewerkt. Maar ook de geringe groei bij Enterprise ondersteunt de uitgesproken ambities van de CMD nog niet.

    Wat voorlopig blijft is de onzekerheid in hoeverre TT er in zal slagen om op termijn substantieel te verdienen aan de kansen die er zijn. Er is in de sector constant sprake van prijsdruk en de constante noodzaak meer te investeren in R&D. Zelf zie ik voor volgend jaar kansen als er mogelijk inhaalverkopen plaatsvinden als gevolg van het verdwijnen van het chiptekort in combinatie met een hogere take-rates als gevolg van toenemende electrificatie.
