For years and years we've been helping Google read books by reading scanned words. Now we're helping them read traffic situations.

That leaves me to wonder: what's next? What large machine learning projects needs tons of tagged data that can be delegated to untrained people?

How? Google needs speech where it knows what is said to train the software. That's most easily done with audiobooks or transcripts conversations, not random people speaking without it written down somewhere.
