Any reason to be worried?

I see no reason to worry really.

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.

The manufactures that bought HERE Maps, were already using HERE Maps...

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.
Why not OpenStreetMap? I think it is one of the best solutions to gather community contributions for. It might not be the best and the most complete map, but it can be.

That I did not know. Perhaps their UI designs will improve to reflect their purchase now?

It has nothing to do with UI. They bought the MAPS, again, it has NOTHING to do with UI whatsoever. They just don't need to pay for the license anymore, and other companies has to pay THEM license money now

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 ..
Breaking News everybody!
