So what made you want to jump from, you know, doing the engineering to doing the money?

Leo WangGUEST
Yeah, so I would say definitely I come from a very diverse background and experience.

Leo WangGUEST
In a layman term, actually, that's about map data and also about finding the entities from your current location.

Leo WangGUEST
For example, if you want to find your closest gas station, that type of question, and you are on route, then how can I come back with an efficient, you know, process and give you the best results? So that type of question, when the map is becoming more available, accessible to consumers, of course, that becomes a very interesting topic.

Leo WangGUEST
So my PhD work at that time, We've already seen some of the map service, they started to providing the routing information.

Leo WangGUEST
But on top of the routing information, probably you also want to find some interesting points, you know, on route.

Did you guys build RSI before the Frontier Labs did? Or like, how does this work?
