google maps predicts traffic conditions
microsoft introduced something similar last week called "clearflow," and now google has released its version of it within google maps.
Quote: Google Maps can now predict traffic information for any day of the week and time of the day, based on past conditions. By default, if you click on the Traffic button in a supported area from the US, Google Maps shows real-time traffic information.
There's also a traffic layer in Google Earth and Google Maps Mobile, but these applications don't include yet traffic prediction.

Hmm nice.. I remember reading somewhere that someone wanted to use cell phone technology to track how many people were driving by and also the traffic conditions.. speed of travelers, if they are stopped etc. Not sure if it got approved or not.
