  • Has anyone actually created a traffic plugin yet?

    The organic team doesnt wanna deal with collecting user data so they wont do it. Getting live location data from millions of people basically requires using and feeding into google services and thats a no go.

    Ofcourse someone else could do it, but thats just a waste of time, if google can cut you off from their API at any point.

    Even if you start your own project, no matter what you do, there will always have to be some company that collects all the data. That company no matter how cool and FOSS will eventually be forced to cooperate with law enforcement and then you are back to what we have now with google.

    Location data is just too sensitive and impossible to anonymize properly.
