AMA #18 with Hivemapper's Head of Product, Jay Alberts, and Head of Operations, Gabe Nelson

Thank you to everyone who tuned in on our eighteenth AMA on February 8th, 2024.
00:51: What does the third mode of contribution mean and why is that so important to the future of Hivemapper?
02:28: With the new buzz feature, is there an incentive to select road work outside of mapping hours? So, you know, if you're driving at 1 AM and you see a closed construction that's closing a lane light, will I be able to buzz that?
03:19: Are there ways to have a simpler way to buzz instead of having to deal with multiple options? It's kind of hard to drive and click stuff for safety reasons.
04:05: Could we have an option to buzz on the dashcam tab?
04:50: With the new Buzz feature, is there a way to buzz for anything other than road construction?
05:30: Why is Hivemapper we're focused on that? For the Road Works button, is that being driven by customer interest or is Hivemapper taking a "if you build it, they will come" approach?
06:34: Will Hivemapper try to increase production of cameras because these order delays do not seem healthy?
07:20: What's the status update on production and shipment? Are there plans to speed up and get delivery before June or July for orders today?
08:17: When will third party camera providers be made eligible on the network?
10:38: Do you have plans for an update where cameras can directly connect to Wi-Fi when you get home or the office, which would mean eliminating the data transfer to the phone before the cloud?
13:17: Are there plans to add an option for an external GPS antenna for better reliability?
14:20: When is a cellular SIM card dashcam coming with an auto linked wallet? So there's zero need to do anything, just plug and map.
14:40: Will the third-gen cam have an upgraded GNSS chip?
15:13: When will there be an update for the fleet management system so our managers have more access and privileges?
16:05: Can we get the settings tab to display the fleet owner name or the organization instead of the fleet managers wallet name?
16:15: Are there plans to add a third token split for fleet managers?
17:00: How do privacy zones work within a fleet?
18:05: When will Explorer be updated?
19:50: What are the plans to keep the earnings sustainable, not only to keep this earning sustainable, but to incentivize people to join and map as the the reduced freshness happens?
25:08: Will Hivemapper bring mapping by phone back? Detecting road signs via phone cameras seems to work for some projects, will it work for Hivemapper?
27:30: So when machine learning or object detection is enabled on the dashcam, does that mean we can map at night?
29:00: Is it possible that Hivemapper would work with law enforcement to use images to catch bad guys?
29:25: What are some events that could be deemed as a showstopper for the Hivemapper project and the token model?
30:55: Is there any plan to let people see where they've mapped in the past?
32:15: Are you planning on implementing a countdown timer for the weekly image upload cut off time?
32:45: Any thoughts on implementing something to notify you if some of the images you uploaded were disqualified because of blurry images or your camera being out of position?
35:40: How do you calculate the rewards of a new road versus an already mapped road?
36:50: What's the bonus for mapping first time roads?
37:05: Is there anything, we as contributors, can do to improve the weight of our regions?
37:52: How do new regions get added? How often do you add regions? What does it take for a region to get added?
39:42: Who are some of the customers? Who are the current customers of Hivemapper?
42:20: Is Hivemapper's plan to create a Google Maps-like platform?
43:55: What amount is the current revenue from customers and how much is needed for that organic revenue to break even with token inflation?
44:47: How does Hivemapper Inc. sustain itself? Is it through raising capital, through traditional means, token sales, map credits, camera hardware sales and so on?
46:25: Has the amount of token rewards decreased or stayed the same? Will it be decreasing? If so, when?
46:55: Would Hivemapper be open to working with other crowdsource projects and startups in the future?
47:52: Would we work with another project that has location as their entire goal?
48:12: Is there value in mapping both directions of a street?
48:32: Is it possible to have uploading from the dashcam to the phone while the app is in the background?
49:30: From a product perspective, what's on the top of the roadmap?
50:32: Hivemapper app for Tesla OS? Will there be an Android Auto integration? CarPlay for iOS would be useful. What do we think about kind of mapping through your through your car?
51:20: How can I see the Hivemapper app in my car? Is there a way to integrate directly with the sensors in cars too?
51:46: Are there any route planning features coming?
53:10: What benefits are customers getting from this map data to ensure sustainability?

Hivemapper and XYO; I think this would be a good fit.

[@demandmedialimited]

Very informative. Thanks guys.

[@justenjoy111]

Why not open hivemapper platform levels

[@TyvanTV]

Will rewards ever be more consistent? We sometimes have to wait for them.

[@VETSINCRYPTO]

BANG BANG ‼️

[@currencyenthusiast5360]

When will the USB feature of the HDC-S actually work? As it stands now, the -S is simply an overpriced HDC that original HDC-S customers waited over a year to receive.

Buzz would be great if mobile phone wouldn't be required.
