Could you build this?
Partial Building a basic UI is easy, but reliable background GPS tracking that operates accurately without draining battery or getting terminated by iOS and Android OS policies is notoriously difficult.
What it would actually take: The product needs native iOS and Android apps (or Flutter/React Native) integrated with native geofencing and motion activity recognition APIs (CoreLocation, CoreMotion, fused location provider). The core technical hurdle is handling aggressive background app refresh throttling and battery optimization algorithms while reliably detecting drive starts/stops. It also requires an OCR document processing pipeline (AWS Textract or custom OCR) mapped to IRS mileage classification rules.
