Do we think traffic data will ever be available for a project like this one? Or maybe it already is and I just don't know.

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Traffic data kind of requires driver tracking data to be sent to the cloud, which usually goes against the philosophy of projects like this. Unless they're obtaining it from a third party, I doubt it'll be a feature they implement.

OsmAnd seems to do this.

They predict traffic patterns based on random UUID. I don't know how it works but it seems to be default on.

I think it would be fine if it were opt-in, but then you wouldn't get enough data to get accurate traffic estimates
