🗺️⚠️ Problem Cartography Technology

The problems will become bigger in the future because cartography technologies are becoming increasingly important. Today, maps help us find the best routes, and we follow them. However, with autonomous cars and robots, maps not only take over planning but also execution. If a company like Google controls these autonomous vehicles, they become very powerful. They could then guide us through specific routes, show us certain things, and make us believe we are making the decisions ourselves.

To counter the power of big tech companies, people, companies, and governments need a way to collect their own map data. But this is almost impossible because it is very expensive and there are many privacy issues that make it difficult to collect your own geodata.
