This seems very useful, but isn't Google Maps doing similar stuff already? And if not, what are their concerns?

The Google Maps APIs are point in time. Using OSM and Kalman filters, we can continuously snap points to the road in realtime. Plus it's a lot faster doing it on our own database than calling external APIs.

It's called snap to roads (interpolated mode): https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads/snap
