They explained that using artificial intelligence (AI) and Natix’s network would allow for real-time map updates that are more accurate and available worldwide . Natix is creating a new device called VX360 as part of this partnership. It will be built using Grab’s hardware and will let Tesla drivers record and share 360-degree images from their cars. This information will help create better maps and provide important data for self-driving and physical AI projects, GrabMaps explained. Natix pointed out that older mapping methods, like Google Street View and TomTom, were expensive, slow to update, and often missed certain areas. The company believes using a decentralized system will keep maps updated and cover more locations without large costs . Natix said, "We’re giving Tesla drivers access and storage for their vehicle’s camera feed—while earning rewards for contributing 360° imagery that will be used for better mapping solutions and to power physical AI". Meanwhile, OpenAI recently decided to remove the limit on how much investors can earn. How does the company plan to achieve this? Read the full story .
