>>1x Raspberry Pi Zero W hopping between my garage and car running a program that collects and displays OBDII and GPS data

This is what I also want for my car. I am planning to collect the GPS and car data and answer the eternal question I have .. Which road to work is more efficient in time and gas. :)

I tried something similar and was astonished at the amount of variance caused by stoplights and weather. Because of that, it's hard to get a good dataset for comparison.

In the end, because of the variance caused by external factors, there was no clear winner in my case, so I now use an app from random.org to flip a coin and follow the results accordingly. That's not because either way is better, but this way if I have a long delay for some reason, I can blame it on a bad coin flip.

Why do you seem to be shadowbanned with two comments? Your first comment was dead before I vouched for it, too.

To be honest I don't know... I'm usually just reading on HN, nothing else...
