Agreed but could you trust OSM as a source for this? Unfortunately
we are open to vandalism even if the ways were mapped to high accuracy
in the first place and there is still the problem of temporary
obstacles in the way.

Hi John,
The first basic phone appeared in 1849. However, the full potential of
this technology started to demonstrate itself by 30s, several decades
later. Computerized maps are only about 15 years old.
The "DJI’s Ultimate Mapping Solution" is still quite expensive, however
if this technology becomes affordable with mass production, what is
DJI's specialty, then it will be the brave new world.
If one could go to a common shopping center and buy a device which
allows to map several square kilometers per day with one centimeter
precision (0.39 inch) both horizontally and vertically, it would
probably generate many new ideas both in programming and physical
applications.
Best regards,
Oleksiy
