Has anyone actually created a traffic plugin yet?

Nah, because the organic team doesnt wanna deal with collecting user data. Getting live location data from millions of people requires using and feeding into google services and thats a no go.

Location data is just too sensitive and impossible to anonymize properly. No matter what you do, there will always be some company that has to collect all the data. That company no matter how cool and FOSS will eventually be forced to cooperate with law enforcement and then you are back to what we have now.
