How NATIX’s VX360 Is Proving Physical AI Through Everyday Drives
These are the words of NVIDIA's very own CEO, Jensen Huang, as he stood before a packed
audience of over 6,000 at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2025. His words highlighted not just an opportunity, but a critical challenge facing the autonomous driving industry.
We got chills — it sounds like something out of a box office hit.
But Huang isn't just painting a sci-fi fantasy. He's describing an inevitable future where autonomous vehicles reshape how we move, live, and interact with transportation. The implications are massive: safer roads, more efficient travel, and an entirely new economy built around autonomous systems.
There's just one catch. To make autonomous vehicles safe and reliable enough for this vision, they need to be tested across an almost impossible number of real-world scenarios. Industry experts estimate it would take 215 billion miles of testing to achieve true autonomous capability. The traditional (AKA, expensive and exhausting) approach is to build specially equipped test vehicles, each costing upwards of $1 million, and hope to even encounter enough diverse scenarios to build reliable systems.
This is where NATIX saw an opportunity.
Instead of relying on a handful of expensive test vehicles, what if we could transform every Tesla on the road into a sophisticated data collection platform? What if the daily drives of millions of Tesla owners could contribute to building safer autonomous vehicles?
Enter VX360 — NATIX's groundbreaking device that plugs into any Tesla's existing camera system. It's elegantly simple, yet revolutionary: a Tesla DePIN. Now every drive becomes valuable data for autonomous vehicle development and 3D map making and every Tesla owner becomes a contributor to the future of physical AI through DePIN — making that trillion-mile challenge suddenly achievable.
In this blog, you’ll be reading about:
- How NATIX evolved from an autonomous driving pioneer to a DePIN innovator shaping the future of transportation
- Why VX360 is revolutionizing autonomous vehicle development by turning everyday Tesla drives into valuable data
- How NATIX designed VX360 to be seamlessly private and user-friendly, requiring zero technical expertise
- The exclusive early adopter benefits that let you earn while contributing to autonomous driving's future
What is NATIX, and what do they do?
Behind every revolutionary product is a team that's been in the trenches, and NATIX's story is no exception. With a mission to "Empower the Future of Geospatial Data with Internet of Cameras and DePIN," their journey showcases how innovation often comes from seeing possibilities in existing infrastructure.
It started in 2013, when NATIX co-founder and CEO Alireza Ghods (@AlirezaGhods2) was part of a €6 million autonomous driving project in Germany. Picture this: a driverless Volkswagen navigating a university campus, equipped with LiDAR sensors and complex perception systems.
For Ali, who would later bring his 10+ years of IoT, mapping, and autonomous driving expertise to NATIX, this wasn't just another project — it was a glimpse into the future of transportation.
The NATIX leadership team reads like a who's who of technical innovation.
Alongside Ali, co-founder and CPO Lorenz Muck (@lorenz_muck) brings over a decade of VR and computer vision expertise, with more than 20 successful apps under his belt. Completing the founding trio is CTO Omid Mogharian (@omidmogharian), whose 15+ years of software architecture experience and blockchain leadership at PwC has been instrumental in shaping NATIX's technical direction.
Their approach has always been revolutionary in its simplicity: why build new hardware when you can leverage what already exists? This philosophy led to their first success—a smartphone DePIN - turning mobile cameras into powerful geospatial data collection tools for mapping and ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) features. The Drive& app grew to over 200,000 active drivers worldwide, proving that decentralized infrastructure could work at scale.
After Drive&’s (continued) success, NATIX saw an even bigger opportunity.
While smartphones were perfect for mapping and basic ADAS features, the autonomous driving industry needed something more comprehensive. Tesla vehicles, with their sophisticated camera systems, were already collecting valuable data.
The challenge wasn't building new hardware; it was finding a way to tap into this existing infrastructure effectively.
This realization led to VX360's development. Building on their success with smartphone-based data collection, NATIX is now pioneering the use of Tesla's built-in 360-degree cameras. It's not just about collecting data—it's about opening new doors for autonomous driving development, making what once required million-dollar test vehicles accessible through everyday drives.
And today, our awesome team at DePIN Hub wants to break down what this means for you, and how you can be a part of the opportunity at VX360.
Understanding VX360, where innovation meets simplicity
"When I first saw autonomous driving technology in action back in 2013, it was mind-blowing," recalls NATIX co-founder Ali Ghods in a recent DePIN Hub podcast. "But it was also incredibly complex — test vehicles loaded with expensive sensors, developers with laptops, all just to navigate a university campus."
A decade later today, NATIX has transformed that complex vision into something beautifully simple: VX360.
So what is VX360?
Think of VX360 as your Tesla's new companion. It's a sleek device that fits discreetly in your glove compartment, but its impact on the future of transportation is anything but small.
The genius of it, Ali, explains that they’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. Tesla vehicles already have amazing camera systems, after all — NATIX is simply giving owners a way to make those cameras work harder for the future of autonomous driving… and earn rewards while doing it. 😉
The setup is refreshingly simple:
- Plug VX360 into your Tesla's USB port
- Close the glove box
- Drive normally, because VX360 handles the rest
With 256GB of storage (expandable to 512GB), VX360 can capture over 20 hours of driving footage. The upload process is completely hands-free – just park where you have WiFi access, and VX360 takes care of the rest.
Plug-and-play — sounds music to our ears!
Your privacy, your control
The NATIX team emphasized during our podcast with them that privacy was non-negotiable during the development of this device. VX360's privacy features aren't just add-ons; they're absolutely core to its design:
- Set your own privacy zones where recording automatically stops
- AI anonymization that blurs faces and license plates
- No access to interior cabin cameras
- Secure, encrypted data transfer
