And what are they planning to do with it? Because there's no such coming thing as an altruistic act by companies, and those all have a long track record of fucking people over

They are definately looking to make money off of it: https://www.feedough.com/...

  • Advertising
  • Selling APIs
  • Partnering with other Companies
  • and, of course, data mining

They can give away the data with the only intent being market share.

Yeah, if they're feeling altruistic, I have to wonder why they aren't just continuing to openstreetmaps.

TIL TomTom still exists.

If they want to make data free, why not just add it to OSM?
