Key Points

1. Volkswagen ADMT, the autonomous-vehicle testing subsidiary, is using Hivemapper's Bee Maps for self-driving technology validation.

2. Bee Maps contributors use Hivemapper cameras to provide real-world data, earning incentives through the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) model.

3. Hivemapper is a prominent DePIN project in the Solana ecosystem, shifting from static to dynamic, 'living maps.'

4. Volkswagen has been testing its 'Robotaxi' fleet in recent months, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

5. The collaboration highlights the growing intersection of blockchain technology and autonomous vehicle development.
