I'm 19 yo, 2 years ago I started building an app that had a vision of helping drivers to find available parking spaces in crowded and busy cities. The idea was to use AI & CCTV cameras to find them.
After a few months the AI model started working on the first parking lots in Poland, and soon I started winning some awards in competitions for young people, in May this year I was sent to Los Angeles to compete in the world's biggest science & technology competition - ISEF Regeneron.
However, it turned out that the reality is completely different, and there's no city willing to cooperate and share access to cameras.
I gave up right after the competition in May, many lessons learned, but it's time to move on to something else.
Hey, this is neat, sorry it didn't work out. More than a few may be interested in something like this as a private solution (use case: personal web cam watches the street from a window and alerts when a favorite spot opens up.)

Today, September 9th, I'd like to share it with everyone by making it open-source at https://github.com/gbaranski/wheretopark.
