Lyft Taps Solana’s Bee Maps for Real-Time, Crowdsourced Mapping Upgrade

Bee Maps, a project on Hivemapper, one of the largest decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) focused on mapping data on Solana, shared Wednesday that it has teamed up with ride-hailing giant Lyft to provide them more accurate mapping data.The move underscores the growing role of crowdsourced geospatial intelligence in the transportation industry, and signals that ride-sharing companies are turning towards this type of infrastructure for better maps.Bee Maps allows drivers to contribute to mapping data using AI-enabled dash cams that automatically detect and update real-time changes on roads—like construction zones or altered road signs—helping keep digital maps current and accurate.“For mobility to actually work and for autonomy to become reality, maps can't be an afterthought—they need to be crowdsourced, live, accurate, and open,” said Ariel Seidman, CEO and co-founder of Bee Maps, in a press release with CoinDesk source: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2025/05/14/lyft-taps-solanas-bee-maps-for-real-time-crowdsourced-mapping-upgrade
