These programs are celebrating the use of open data and hopefully will provide some additional support. I think there are even folks here who have been part of these events. Were excited for that continued support and hope you can all join this initiative in the neutral. Future. So, earlier you were talking a little a...

Collaborative consumption of sharing taxis, build a dash panel for companies to know where to go. Had i hatch i had been working on a model to see how much overlap there was. They sent us to tokyo to work on that. So, this one set, a million records of where the taxis were not only led to a lot of innovation, but people realized 15 of all taxi routes kind of where people went, about 15 of that was all overlapped. So, a city that never really thought about collaborative consumption or sharing sud...

Necessarily, but when you take your green button data and you give it to some companies, they have Amazing Things they can do with that green button to, again, save you money. Something as simple as if you look at your green button which is kilowatt hours for those that are engineering minded, a line grab if you think about t some companies today can look at your green button and figure out if your refrigerator is broken function need a new air conditioner. Thats real money if you think about it...

It was really interesting. And then in my first meeting, in our first meeting with the innovation group, the city i heard of 10 other things that i clearly should have been using and didnt even know existed, literally within the first 15 minutes of the meeting. Ss things like street safety, sidewalk safety scores and quality scores so we could wrap people around places. Route people around places. Really unbelievable.

We also have data we want to provide to the society at large. And how do we not step on our own toes and give away our own data and make the company worthless. So, its tough. Its a definite fine line between the two. Today we announced that were going to give crowding data to the city so youll know where crowds are in the city and when they occur and where ...

Post that back up. Even if youre not crowd sourcing new things, you can definitely crowd source quality of a data set that way. Yeah, its been a really great experience working with 100 plus and motion loft. Just to respond, i think that this is a whole new opportunity actually what youre talking about.
