Where's the minefield?
Just release it all publicly, and offer municipalities private services if they want you to really have a go at their signs.
- GistNoesis 7y agoWell depending on the pricing of the API there are plenty of low revenue services that can't be run profitably. So depending on the pricing of the API, you let accidents happen. Or even worse, depending on whether or not the municipality is rich enough to buy your services you let them happen or not (even though the poorer the city the more likely it is that they already have maintenance issues). There are plenty other things you may notice on street-view, like dangerous/illegal behaviors, pot-holes, even finding cars in lake can have an impact of property value. Reporting anything is probably a legal or PR risk because of the unknown ramifications so you end-up doing nothing and the accidents happens, yet no-one can hope to offer a better service because it doesn't make economical sense because of the existing service tailored to another usage of the data. That's not an easy problem but that's one which is at the heart of all-data related business. For example, when you have access to plenty of face pictures with flash you may notice some medical issues with eyes, obviously this is a valuable information for the health insurer, and also to the user.
