I am a passionate GIS and Remote Sensing enthusiast with a strong interest in spatial analysis, earth observation, and leveraging geospatial technology to solve real-world problems. I enjoy transforming raw data into actionable insights, exploring patterns on the landscape, and continuously expanding my skills in mapping, analysis, and geospatial innovation.

Hi @Humphrey_Osano 

Welcome to the Esri YPN community! I love your enthusiasm for turning raw data into insights. How do you decide which real-world problems to tackle first when there are so many possibilities in GIS and remote sensing?

A retired Network Data engineer, I have been diagnosing problems with “Full Self Driving”  but the current one is hard.

Ford and Tesla use the speed zone information in their electronic map. The speed zone information is entered by local ‘traffic engineers’ (i.e. City, County, State) but it is nearly impossible to find and inform/complain to someone when ‘stale data’ is in the map. So a 45 mph speed zone suddenly turns into 15 mph because of a road project completed 5 years earlier. But Full Self Driving (and Autopilot) only see the sudden drop and apply a “phantom brake.” Fords self driving has the same fault.

I have yet to find a definitive point of contact to get stale speed zones fixed. I can use Google Map to independently confirm these stale speed zones. Some can be as small as one lane of a multi lane road.

Any suggestions?
