Waze

Ask any traffic engineer, and they'll tell you the holy grail of traffic management is widespread deployment of in-vehicle (also called "floating car") traffic probes.

Waze does that by trading that information by free turn-by-turn traffic on your phone, and incorporating the traffic data into those directions.

That data's going to be very valuable.
