danbri: "We saw that this didn’t yet exist in a easy to use format. We saw others that had tried and we figured they had failed because they did a bad job and we could do better. The lesson to learn here is If there are burning husks of cars along the roadway, you should probably assume that driving there is dangerous. Regardless of how good a driver you are."
