Too many technological solutions these days seem to come at the cost of some of our privacy. Kudos! That’s really fascinating.

I wrote the blog post out our traffic data, and have been heavily involved in the design of the solution, and I am happy to tell all of you that we don't collect any data on servers that is personally identifiable. So if the FBI came in and and asked "where was Mark yesterday?", we couldn't tell them because we simply don't collect that data. Hi everyone, this is Mark Williamson from Dash.

A network of more or less intelligent objects which crawl data all the time. Remembers me of the “Spime” theory which Bruce Sterling described in his book “Shaping Things”.

Could it be used by the transportation department to find causes of congestion? Could it be used by police to see where people speed the most? Or even by police to find what areas need to be monitored the most to prevent accidents. I wonder what other uses this kind of data could have.
