Wait, this code uploads data to a server somewhere? To what end? I would not have expected capture to come with mandatory redistribution, nor would I trust any third party with my location, let alone the output of my car's camera feeds. And I definitely wouldn't trust meta with, well, anything, let alone my own personal identifying information.

I'm not sure what you expected, Mapillary is built to make pictures and upload them with the most information possible. Street View but for everyone, and there's no need to have a 360° camera.

I actually think I may have misunderstood, and this doesn't upload to mapillary by default.

...but that said, what is the kind of person to upload specific times and places where they were to a private corporation? What would motivate a person to do such a thing? Can you get paid for it?
