Listen "Decentralizing HD Maps for Autonomous Vehicles & AI | Guang Ling: Rovr Network (#51)"
Episode Synopsis
Is DePIN the key to scaling real-time 3D mapping for AI & AVs?In this episode of The DePINed Podcast, we sit down with Guang Ling, founder of Rovr Network, to explore how crowdsourced 3D data and LiDAR-powered devices could unlock a new layer of spatial intelligence for the real world🧠 The project uses both smartphone-based setups and professional-grade LiDAR rigs — with ambitious plans to collect 100M+ kilometers of street-level data and offer weekly refresh rates at a fraction of the cost of traditional HD maps.In this episode, we cover:- Why HD maps are critical for autonomous driving & AI- Rovr’s dual-hardware strategy (TX & LC devices)- Cutting map costs by 80% with better refresh rates- Token economics, point system, and plans for TGE- Real market insights from a LIDAR and telecom expert- Building toward millions in revenue and Tier 1 clients- The future of spatial AI and 3D training datasetsWhether you’re into DePIN, AI or geospatial tech, this episode is a must-listen 🚀Don’t miss this deep dive into the DePIN revolution!
