Revolutionary Spatial AI Pipeline Launches World's Largest Open-Access Driving Dataset
  • We’re building a scalable Spatial AI pipeline that supports foundation models for semantic segmentation, object detection, scene understanding, and intent prediction.

  • The full-stack pipeline covers on-device data collection, cloud-based annotation tools, APIs/SDKs, and partnerships spanning academia, startups, and enterprises.

  • The goal is to enable 3D world understanding within AI systems through a cohesive pipeline and broad cross-sector collaboration.

  • The project aims to become the world’s largest open-access driving dataset, targeting about one million 30-second clips, with plans for future additions like 2D/3D boxes, scene graphs, behavior cues, and diversity metadata.

  • Backing this effort is a decentralized network of contributors, more than 20 million kilometers of road coverage, and over 3,500 deployed devices.

  • The dataset is released under a permissive non-commercial license, with plans for extended versions for commercial partners to support open infrastructure and collaborative AI development.

  • Licensing emphasizes non-commercial use upfront while keeping pathways open for commercial collaborations to democratize access to real-world data.

  • Access to the dataset is available at rovr.network/#/dataset for researchers, developers, educators, and innovators.

  • The dataset is now accessible to the wider community, inviting researchers, developers, educators, and innovators to participate in shaping Spatial AI.

  • ROVR’s DePIN model emphasizes scalability and global reach, with incentivized participation through token rewards as the network has already achieved substantial road coverage and device deployment.

  • The initial release comprises 1,500 fully synchronized clips totaling over 1 terabyte, spanning urban, suburban, highway, and special scenarios like construction zones and school crossings.

  • Data in the initial release includes LiDAR point clouds, front-facing RGB video, high-frequency IMU data, centimeter-level RTK GPS, and anonymized scenes.
