 Human history there's never been a moment where we've had mapping technology like this We're starting to see an entirely new kind of map a living map That lets you see the pulse of a city and lets people in real time Start sharing what's going on around them Capturing a story of a dynamic generation Today you can go on snapchat and look at the snap maps powered by map box And get a sense of what's happening right here and together start defining what's happening around you and Who you want to be? The power to make maps is The power to define a narrative today that power Belongs to all of us Today we are all map makers in through these maps We tell a powerful human story and now in our future story Our power to build human maps are going to use be used by machines at scale at this pivotal moment right when the Robots and automation start becoming a cool part of our world Look since the busy beginning of time we have been explorers in in our quest as humans has been to discover measure build worlds around us in the map The map has been the living document of humanity And now It's becoming live in real time So this is what makes slush special We're builders we're dreamers and and we're coming together To build a better world We we don't work with technology because it's the new new Right we we work with technology to leverage it to build a world that we want to see Look, I didn't start making Maps like this. I started monitoring deforestation in the Congo. I Started looking at floods Spread across Pakistan and satellite imagery trying to get an understanding of the amount of damage or where malaria Outbreaks were happening and where we could put clinics Project by project we needed better tools to do our job So we built them But where we were working The map the map was blank my my first time in the cobble in In 2009 there was literally Ring Road and Jalalabad Road coming up. Anyway, the city was an intersection You know here you're going you're gonna actually try to map an election and and there's there's no there's no there's no context so we were a group of developers and We got good at making maps Fast forward to today We've mapped the whole world and built a platform a platform that's being used by more than 350 million people touching our maps every day Whether this is like snapchat or waking up to check the weather or watching your groceries delivered on Instacart And here's what's special every time somebody touches one of these maps The code in these apps is collecting anonymous aggregated data back And in real time We're collecting latitude longitude timestamp elevation directionality This this is the kind of stuff that we're able to map the world live So here we are we're building out this network of decentralized sensors our phones Every time people touch the map We are the ones powering this living map And all of this is happening as we're entering this era of Robotic intelligence and infinite data So what kind of maps do robots need and how are we going to build those maps as We leverage location data to unleash human potential Map box is building the location data layer for an entirely new world This this is map boxes frontier Maps created by humans for machines to orchestrate symphonies of automation in transportation Industry and learning look each of us have memories of Touching a map whether that's you know touching the globe for the first time or getting in your car and Unfolding it as you as you get ready for get ready for a road trip Traditionally the map existed to tell you where you were going Today the map puts humans in an even more powerful role No longer does the map revolve around the world's coordinate system It revolves around ours We're the blue dot and the map is literally created around us So in this human centric model Our command over machine maps Is going to unlock this next error of human opportunity This means we need to push beyond what traditional boundaries of a map have even been thought of and and build a more perfect map of our world and Its human activities commerce the environment around us Connections with each other So With more perfect maps We're not just talking about maps and apps and and and and for cars We want the whole machine ecosystem to be running More efficiently to build a more equitable stable and prosperous world On a technical level our vision at map box is a race forward to where we know maps are going This is this is beyond mobile. I want everybody to just like shred The traditional concepts you have of what what a map looks like Because we're starting to operate in in a mixed reality paradigm Where real-time reality grade location data Is going to orient everything from gaming to automated vehicles to logistics I'm honored to be here today with all of you in Tokyo the and Honored to have the support of the softbank team They they see this new world and we're building it. We're building it together I want to speak a little bit about the history of maps and really to understand where we're going I want to pull back and talk a little bit about how we got here and what that relationship has been between humans and the map so Let's let's take a first look at at why maps existed. This was about Documenting exploration these maps were powered by our intense desire to know And and they were owned by by these elites, right? This this elite group of people where the data was all locked away in these static snapshots in back rooms Many of the maps in the early days as we now know where they were wrong, right? But over time we we iterated And and it's that nature of map making that is ingrained in humanity's curiosity Each new map became better and more complete And more representative of the diversity of the needs that we had And more equipped to meet the needs that we have today fast-forward We've mapped the whole world and now that map is oriented around us focused on the context around us Once the digital maps got into our car we we stopped way fine. We stopped using paper maps once maps got on to our phones we we actually stopped using peripheral map peripheral tech in in the cars Here's where things get interesting This dawn of sensors gave humans the chance to document our exploration to translate our discovery into data and As this network of sensors just starts to skyrocket This footprint expands Expedentially, so maps are going to transform the function of just providing directions and In knowing what's happening around you where we're going the location data layer is the operating system for machines That will unleash an entirely new error of human discovery enterprise and industry Today we are all map makers Every human transit every purchase Every memory created every connection shared is tied to location We move around in our daily life and in its this motion that creates an invisible map This is a map of our lives And at scale this is the map of human activity and Powered by map box technology. This is the roadmap of machine driven future and tremendous innovation and industry So look maps got us to where we are today It's that human desire to explore that has led us build this new world that is pulsing around us The question now is what? What is the map of the new world? This is not about a map anymore This is about the opportunities that location data is going to unlock So to understand where the platform is going let's start with our human foundation the 1 million registered developers We have building on top of map box Solving human challenges is in map boxes DNA, but we created map box to serve Communities of people on the ground solving urgent real-world needs Those were famines in Somalia elections in Sudan Hurricanes in Houston We knew that the map could empower Professionals to save lives in the environment around them and by creating a platform We gave them better tools To make data driven decisions So combining their data they're on the ground reality with location data We could inform them How to work better and it's been that relationship with developers over the years That's influenced our platform and change how we've built and now today those 1 million developers touching our SDKs Building on our API's Are funneling a level of data back that's helping us make a more perfect map So whether it's apps like snapchat or you saw some of the watches like Cisco or you know weather terminals by IBM We're touching over 350 million users a month It's these people touching the map that are constantly feeding back live data Live mapping the world. They are the humans that are at the heart of the map So what is what does this start to mean for autonomous vehicles? The map is no longer just providing directions, right? The map is a propulsion for the vehicle So if I tell you to go to a bar Or better said look there's a go to the bar at bars on the corner You'll notice that what I really meant is there's a door on the corner and you're gonna be able to analyze that it's that it's a bar Up until now we have been the location interface for maps And as we start being removed from that experience the level of precision Accuracy and timely updates Are insane So for an an autonomous vehicle to move people around with this level of precision The details have to go deeper We are at the dawn of a re of reality grade data That requires reality grade precision To know where everything in the world is And and we're in a world where the level of change is accelerating and the map needs to be more live than ever So this is not just about a powering our autonomous strategy This is about powering an entire world that is changing more and more radically Take a look at the transportation and logistics Our core mission is to help people and goods move more efficiently Connecting people with things they need every single vehicle Plugged into the map box network Creates a better map through that data feedback loop So look what while they atlas in the back seat is Beautiful It was also it was also static Maps drawn by hand lost out to maps drawn by sensors And we can be nostalgic about that past But the upsides for safety productivity and industry Cannot be argued with sensor-driven maps Are going to be an enormous win for humanity Today map box collects over 225 million miles of anonymized data Every single day that means we have more sensors on the road today Then the entire auto industry is going to have by 2020 and These sensors this is what's painting the more perfect map Traffic on the road whether a new roads being built did a detour come out overnight as the real world changes Your maps in your applications need to change And it's this global sensor network that's literally emitting hundreds of millions of pings a minute That's feeding back to power the context around us the future of transportation and logistics Requires a level of precision that is only possible through this decentralized network of sensors And it's not just about the real world As we start looking at augmented reality That the future is being built on layers of timely data That are going to be powered by these maps, but you're never going to see the map It's the data behind the map. That's actually changing context and being streamed live Directly in to change the gameplay or change the context of what you're looking at There's no room for error here You're getting down to the level that when you pick up your phone What you're looking at is right in front of you having that context needs to align perfectly And you might want to pull out your phone and immediately Spawn your own virtual world and the people around you join that world The notion of a map is Influencing your interaction as much as it is a visual component anymore So to reach this frontier and to drive faster at updating this this feed of data We need more system. We need more sensors. We need to become part of more apps We need to empower you all to build more crazy technology and applications Because the more people that use the map The smarter the map becomes so to conclude The first maps documented our world and in Indocumenting the world it also made that the it also captured the reality at that time by harnessing map box we're giving a community of more than a million developers and a larger reach of 350 plus million people touching the map the ability to make that map to own that reality So Let me end with if if we can make our own maps We can also make new realities I Invite all of you to join us at map box where we're building a new world together Thank you very much
