Good comment, but it might be a little too cryptic. Another attempt: Straw man: Phones are too slow and too dangerous to be used as a real time vehicular traffic indicator. If drivers were to text their location back to google every 10 seconds, they would have too many accidents. It isn't even possible to look up the location on google maps and then text a geocoordinate in 10 seconds. Drivers just wouldn't do this anyway because there is no incentive for them to do so. Google would have to pay drivers $2 or so for each location bulletin. That would cost billions and google would go bankrupt.
