Too much traffic in the street where you live? Collect a load of old mobile phones, switch them on to Google Maps, put them in a barrow and drag them along the street. Google will detect multiple slow-moving phones, decide there is a traffic jam, and divert all traffic away: Set up a rota with your neighbours. Martin. |

Google also uses the same principle to work out how long people spend in a shop, for example, and when its busiest. Apparently those 'phones that are there daily will be filtered out after a day or so in order that staff 'phones don't affect the averages. |
