Ask HN: Nest for GPS - Should I build it?

[rocketman_ai]

The problem I want to solve is the following: with a plethora of IOT/GPS devices invading the market, we are spending more and more time routinely doing "check-ins" to see if what we are tracking is OK or in a normal pattern/area (example: a) where is my child? b) is my truck on route?).

I want to create a "Nest" like service for GPS. Where it will mashup AI and geolocation so that it can first learn normal movement patterns, and based on that, provide you with a permanent status, such as: normal, cautious, warning / check location. All wrapped up and offered as an API as a service.

Thoughts? Does this make sense? Is it really an issue? Would you use this?

Thanks!
