Technical approach

As reported

Collect

Dashcams in ordinary cars

Drivers mount the Bee camera and drive as usual; it records road imagery and position and uploads automatically over LTE or Wi-Fi.

Process

AI on the device

The camera runs vision models itself to spot signs, lanes and road changes, sending map features rather than only raw video.

Pay

Drivers are paid to map

Drivers earn rewards for the roads and regions Bee Maps needs; payment moved from HONEY tokens to company-funded USDC in 2026.

Sell

Map data as an API

Customers buy fresh imagery, map features and rare driving-event video through APIs for navigation, robotaxis and AI training.
