Ask HN: Is this a billion dollar business idea?

3 pointsby thrwawy20160421about 9 years ago
There was a post today about selling space on municipal vehicles for AVLR systems and gas sensors. I was reading this and thinking, how do we generalize it? How about a portal for municipalities who can register and search for monetization opportunities? Then I wanted to expand this further. I want to connect Companies-Who-Want-To-Do-Wardriving with Uber-Drivers-Who-Want-More-Money and also with Cash-Strapped-Municipalities.

So, I am an uber driver and install a gas sensor. I gather data on every ride (realtime hook to a cloud log). A company buys my data to give it to muni for free, in some manner of green tax payment?

put vibration sensors on cars and use vibration analysis to get a measure of how rough various sections of road for most needed road repairs and resurfacing.<p>run air particulate sensors and create daily maps of particulate counts in the air for people with asthma or other respiratory diseases

Many, many business ideas are billion-dollar ideas.<p>The question is: Do you have a billion-dollar execution (e.g., marketing)?
