Could you build this?
Partial The app shell, leaderboard, and card collection are straightforward to vibe-code. The hard parts are a driving-score algorithm that works reliably from phone sensors and GPS, plus background tracking that survives mobile OS restrictions.
What it would actually take: Build a mobile app (React Native or Flutter) with background location and motion-sensor collection, plus a backend for trip storage, leaderboards, and card generation. The core difficulty is the scoring model: detecting harsh braking, cornering, and anticipation from noisy accelerometer and GPS data needs calibration and validation against real driving, ideally with some labeled trip data. Photo sourcing per city needs a licensed image API or a user-contributed photo pipeline with moderation.
