The value of said data is tremendous, and could lead to great societal benefits if available for research.
So much so that I would argue that google (et al) should be compelled to make the data publicly available.
They have enough money, let's make society better.
- sagarm 8mo agoThey are making this data publicly available -- after aggregation and anonymization.
- 4gotunameagain 8mo agoA fraction of the data they collect, to keep up appearances.
- notatoad 8mo agoPublicly releasing 100% of the maps data they collect would be the most gigantic privacy violation the world has ever seen.
- 4gotunameagain 8mo agoAre you seriously suggesting that google is gatekeeping the data because they care about privacy ?
