Mapbox Ushers In The Next Generation Of Mapping With New SDKs

Right now, a lot of people are very excited about the future of technologies like AR, VR, AI, and autonomous vehicles. However, as I've written before, most of these technologies are relatively useless without contextual awareness. I have also written in the past about the importance of image sensors and how they enable AI and autonomous systems to better understand the world around them. Combining location awareness and vision is incredibly difficult and is fundamentally what enables app developers to anchor digital assets in the real world for augmented reality. There are currently only two companies capable of doing this-- Google and Mapbox.
