All requests from the app will go to our own traffic server (Traff Server), where data from several different sources will be compiled, mainly official government sources.

Very cool! It seemed like the sort of thing that would only be possible with google levels of data.

I used to work for a company that pulled publicly available traffic data way before it was a thing on Google Maps. Google actually faked trying to buy the company, they were actually stealing ideas to implement in their product.

Google was already evil 20 years ago...
