If you are worried that support for mobile maps applications would decrease on the premise that automotive is going to be primary platform, that probably does not happen.

I'm worried about paying per use.
Not really for me, but for Sailfish. If we got a bunch of cheap Android devices with "free" GPS based on Google Maps and €250 Sailfish phones have to pay €5 or €10 per month for the same service, the disadvantage will be even bigger.

Good to here that HERE is staying in europe and it's nice to see that car manufacturers are finally getting some decent mapping software for their automobiles.

There's no particular reason to be worried, but these kinds of things show how dangerous it is for application authors to rely too much on a single provider and how important it is to abstract your code so that if needed you have a data backend that you easily switch to another provider without it affecting your whole codebase or UI. The big problem is that there's a lack of modern one-stop global map data providers with public platform-independent APIs -- the only alternative I'm aware of is Mapbox.

That is literally a rumour from a year ago.
the word "MAY" being used...
How about verification more recent... and a current ...concrete "IS" as in "It IS now in being set up, or available for use" rather than rehashing old rumoured "possible-it-may-come-someday-butit-ain't-here-yet" news.
otherwise we should all just start doing...
oh wait sec ..
