Southeast Asian superapp Grab has partnered with Natix, a project within Solana’s decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), to revolutionize mapping and autonomous driving technologies. This collaboration will integrate Natix’s blockchain-based mapping data with Grab’s camera hardware and AI-powered mapmaking systems. By leveraging Grab’s expertise in crowdsourced mapping and Natix’s unique DePIN model, which incentivizes users for contributing decentralized data input, this partnership aims to enhance the accuracy and frequency of maps. 360° imagery from Tesla drivers collected using Natix’s VX360 device will further enrich map freshness and provide critical datasets for autonomous vehicles and physical AI applications.
