1. Of the many problems, one critical issue with using this for anything other than security research, is accurate mapping in urban dense areas. Essentially, you are constructing a map of Wi-Fi->Lat/Long or BLE -> Lat/Long. I believe google's solution to this is 3D modeling of buildings[1] based on research from people like Paul Groves[2]. 2. I think the other issue, not with wardriving but with use of such open source infrastructure in general, is launching products that could rely on this mapping. It requires a lot of money and is a bit of a chicken & egg problem. It's also a privacy concern to collect all that Wifi/BLE data for any commercial use. 3. I was also saddened to know about Mozilla MLS shutting down due to f**ng patent trolls[3] that mean that until such competition sucking scum is taken down these technologies will remain boxed to hobby land, small scale diy-ism and security research.
