It turns out that councils (i.e. a city council) don't actually know where their pipes run and in particular don't know where their storm water drains are. This makes flood planning very difficult. So there's money in driving around a la streetview and finding where the drains are. One could possibly license the actual streetview images and mine them, too.

Looks like Chinese cities would have very good use of what your startup has to offer!
