I'm not going to trust news from a Textured Vegetable Protein site.
Drone enthusiast website
MIT Tech Review on how Niantic made an AI spinoff company that helps robots navigate urban areas without GPS if necessary
EuroNews article citing said MIT article about how Niantic has a different partner, Cocorobot, that's training on their data
SpaceNews article on how Vantor is using this data to allow drones to navigate without requiring GPS
Vantor's official announcement that they are using Niantic's data to create "a comprehensive air-to-ground positioning solution that will enable air and ground platforms to navigate and coordinate precisely in GPS-denied environments"
Fair enough, I just had a Lemmy post with this link just above
Seriously.
