Introduction

What is the Bee Maps Automotive Platform?

Last updated 2 months ago

TL;DR: The Bee Maps Automotive Platform is the fastest, easiest, most customizable way for automotive OEMs, tier-one suppliers and specialized fleets to unlock the power of Spatial AI in modern vehicles.

With every year that passes, more and more of the 1.5 billion cars in the world have the three C's of Spatial AI: cameras, compute and connectivity.

The capabilities offer a way to scrape and index the physical world — just as large language models scrape and index the data on the Internet — so humans can make more informed decisions based on a deep understanding of the world around us.

That's the potential of Spatial AI. In practice, deploying computer vision is a pain. It typically requires building a labor-intensive data operations team to train AI models and audit the resulting data for quality assurance. It typically requires deploying custom hardware and sending a testing fleet of vehicles out into the world to gather data.

The Bee Maps Automotive Platform offers a better way — a software-defined way.

With our flexible and powerful development environment, you can rapidly prototype new computer vision models and test them on real-world vehicles without hiring an operations team, making a single hardware change or deploying a single vehicle.

Here are just a few of the things it allows you to do:

  • Rapidly iterate on computer vision capabilities to support next-generation vehicle features

  • Efficiently collect and commercialize new data layers based on anonymized real-world data

  • Help drivers and fleet owners gain reliable real-time insights about the surrounding world

Who is the Automotive Platform for?

Vehicle OEMs

Any maker of cars, trucks, commercial vehicles or vocational vehicles can use the Automotive Platform to test and iterate on value-added features that harness the power of Spatial AI — and to commercialize the valuable insights that are available from anonymized vehicle data.

Tier One Suppliers

With the help of the Automotive Platform, suppliers of cameras and compute modules can offer OEMs a way to turn their vehicles into software-defined mapmaking machines.

Specialized Fleets

Whether you’re commissioning a new vehicle design or an upfitter package, the Automotive Platform offers a way to prototype and test features that make your operations smarter than ever before.

Unlock the power of Spatial AI in any vehicle.
