What's up with Overture Maps? (discuss.tchncs.de)

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

@unknowing8343 #TomTom uses #OrbisMaps which seems to be part of #OvertureMaps.
The #AmiGO app uses data from OSM, among others.
I also think that data from Overture is already being used there, as pretty much all POIs can be found there.
