There's some wrinkles: you'd need to do some smoothing to filter out shots of accidents from the day before, say, and also filter out people who might try to grief the system, but it'll work pretty well right out of the box. You know, that was one of my first thoughts on reading your description. STOP READING MY MIND! ESPECIALLY BEFORE I'VE EVEN HAD THE THOUGHT

I only know about it because it regularly happens to me!
I guess I brought it up because it highlights a problem with relying on automatic location data? GPS is great, but even if it gets the correct hemisphere, it can often be many meters off. I guess with highways it doesn't need to be so precise, but in dense urban areas, that's a significant distance!
That's true, but in dense urban areas you just increase the algorithm's threshold. There's pictures everywhere, but there's probably MORE pictures of towers and stadiums and stuff. You look for differences outside the mean!
anyway jason you're good at stuff like this make it happen please
