This is news?!? Japanese "car-navi" systems have had traffic analysis features for at least the year I've been here. At first I couldn't understand why they were so popular, but then someone explained why, in this country where street addresses are rare, best route analysis is a real plus to drivers.
As the site is slashdotted I can't tell if the company is trying to sell this as a new thing, but it would be a shame if so.
Oh yeah right, and "the Japanese are only good at copying American ideas."
