Very soon your smartphone will be able to warn you if you’re driving too fast reports VentureBeat.
Israeli founded and Google owned traffic application Wayze will soon give alerts to users in certain countries if they’reĀ over the speed limit, the service announced yesterday.
Wayze is unique in that it’s one of the first genuine crowdsourcing programs where users contributed information on traffic conditions and it’s doing the same thing in gathering speed limit information.
The fascinating thing about Wayze is how it brings together crowdsourcing, cloud and smartphone GPS services to create a useful product.
Wayze also shows how the smartphone is the ultimate personal Internet of Things sensor, that’s something which shouldn’t be overlooked.
