Connected car and infotainment

Weather data from Xweather helps automotive innovators deliver smarter, safer, and more comfortable in-vehicle experiences from dynamic navigation to Euro NCAP-ready driver warnings.

Smarter driving starts with weather awareness

Weather is one of the most unpredictable variables a driver faces. Connected car systems equipped with real-time weather intelligence can automatically warn drivers of hazards ahead, dynamically adapt navigation, and create a safer, more comfortable cabin environment.

Xweather helps automotive innovators integrate high-resolution road and atmospheric weather data directly into connected vehicle platforms, enabling a new generation of weather-aware driving experiences.

  • Weather-aware navigation

    Enhance the driver experience with improved route planning and ETA predictions, powered by high-quality weather data for every journey worldwide.

  • Driver warnings for Euro NCAP

    Achieve a higher Euro NCAP rating by detecting weather-dependent speed limits and displaying bad weather and slippery road warnings.

  • In-vehicle agentic AI

    Give your vehicle's AI agent real-world awareness. From explaining driving conditions along a route to changing driving modes based on weather, Xweather MCP connects your agentic framework to live and forecast weather intelligence.

Cars drive on a foggy, wet highway surrounded by trees, with reduced visibility and mist trailing behind the vehicles.

“For an intelligent in‑car assistant, accuracy matters. Xweather’s trusted weather data helps Cerence AI deliver timely, relevant, and dependable information for the driver.”

Weather-aware navigation

Find safer, more efficient routes and reduce drive time by using road weather data to avoid roads with poor driving conditions.

  • Safer routes

    The navigation system can reroute drivers away from hazardous conditions such as icy roads, heavy wind, or thick fog, reducing the risk of accidents before drivers even encounter the danger.

  • More accurate ETA

    By factoring in weather-related slowdowns (snow, rain, wind), the navigation system can give more realistic ETAs rather than estimates based solely on normal traffic conditions.

  • Power and efficiency savings

    Avoiding weather-affected roads means less idling during weather-related congestion and fewer sudden stops or detours, which translates into better fuel economy and range.

Driver warnings for Euro NCAP

Driver warnings help automotive innovators achieve a higher Euro NCAP rating by detecting weather-dependent speed limits and displaying warnings for bad weather and slippery roads.

  • Warn drivers about up ahead weather hazards

    Since vehicle sensors cannot detect all upcoming local hazards, using external weather data can help warn drivers. The driver may need to take over the driving task if the vehicle is not permitted to operate in adverse weather conditions.

  • Display correct speed limit during a weather event

    In some countries, there are conditional speed limits related to weather, among other conditions. Xweather data can detect all weather events relevant to conditional speed limits.

  • Achieve a higher Euro NCAP rating

    With Xweather data, carmakers can gain additional points in the Euro NCAP Safe Driving and Assisted Driving protocols

In-vehicle agentic AI

Integrate live weather intelligence into your in-vehicle AI agent with a single MCP connection and enable proactive, context-aware experiences for every driver, on every road.

  • Proactive intelligence

    The in-vehicle agent can act before the driver asks, anticipating weather-driven decisions rather than simply responding to commands.

  • Real-world awareness

    Live and forecast weather data grounds the agent's reasoning in actual road and environmental conditions.

  • Seamless integration

    A single MCP connection plugs weather intelligence directly into any agentic framework, with no heavy lift for the development team.
