How do you want to use them?

Actually this topic sort of come up recently on talk-au, firstly you can take all the data, remove spurious track information and "average" the results to come up with better accuracy.

The data could be used in a copyright case to protect OSM.

The information might be used to predict the maxspeed where ways aren't tagged properly.

The information could be used by routing algorythms to predict the best routes for specific times of day.

The list goes on.
