Very cool! It seemed like the sort of thing that would only be possible with google levels of data.

I used to work for a company that pulled publicly available traffic data way before it was a thing on Google Maps. Google actually faked trying to buy the company, they were actually stealing ideas to implement in their product.

Google was already evil 20 years ago...
