Source & Update Question

[mickeyl]

Hi, thanks for this great project. I wonder about the source of your database and when/if you are working on an update?

@mickeyl i belive it was taken from cars.com or similar car search website.

Thanks. I wonder whether, if there is still a need for an open data base, we could write an importer that downloads and analyzes all the (openly available and legally OK) emission test databases issued by the various governments. I know that at least the US and France do publish these in a structured format.

I've never heard of such a database. Where did you see that?

Thanks

These could be aggregated to form a "definite" open car database.
