> We need more companies and organisations doing it. The current issue IMHO is having a single for-profit company doing it at such scale. They're inherently motivated to keep competition away and keep themselves relevant. Companies shouldn't own the core data (yes, even when they farmed it themselves running cars through millions of km of streets), perhaps we could come up with a fixed price they have to abide to to sell their data to any eligible entity, with governing bodies being a potential reseller of it. Meteorology wouldn't be what it is today if some single US company owned and organized the world's info. We need a similar model for the rest of it.
