Volkswagen ADMT, the automaker’s autonomous-driving subsidiary, has partnered with Hivemapper’s Solana-based mapping network to source real-time street data for its robotaxi fleet. The collaboration aims to provide dynamic, up-to-date mapping essential for autonomous vehicles. Bee Maps, Hivemapper’s spatial intelligence service, aggregates data from dashcam-equipped drivers who earn HONEY tokens for contributions.
- Volkswagen ADMT will use Hivemapper’s Solana-based Bee Maps for real-time, crowdsourced street data to support its robotaxi fleet.
- Drivers contributing dashcam footage to Bee Maps earn HONEY tokens, creating a decentralized, frequently updated mapping network.
- The partnership underscores the rise of DePINs (decentralized physical infrastructure networks) in providing critical data to legacy industries like automotive and logistics.
