They say they use crowdsourced data, presumably from users, then "send it to a provider" to combine with other data. Not ideal, but (hopefully) not Google. LOL

I don't think you can have in-house live traffic data without having many million active users. But it would be nice!

Garmin has for a long time had live traffic data supplied by municipalities before smartphones became popular. But I'm not sure what you meant by "in-house" (surely not literal!).
