Vehicle hazard API one ping, what's around you.
Cars ship with AI now — but that AI doesn't know there's a bushfire 40 km up the road. One keyless call with the vehicle's lat/lon returns the live hazards around it — fires, floods, quakes, storms, disasters — nearest first, with an Ed25519 signature so the warning itself is verifiable evidence.
The call
Keyless. Poll it on a timer or on waypoint change — every response is Ed25519-signed, so the alert your assistant spoke is provable after the fact.
# the in-car ping — what's around this vehicle right now? (keyless)
curl "https://dynamicfeed.ai/v1/nearby?lat=-33.87&lon=151.21&radius_km=200"
# go / caution / no-go verdict for a ground vehicle
curl -X POST "https://dynamicfeed.ai/v1/awareness" -H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"robot_class":"ground","lat":-33.87,"lon":151.21}'

Why live data
Navigation tells a car where to go; nothing tells its AI what the world is doing around it. This is that missing sense — a single signed scan of live fire, flood, quake, storm and disaster feeds around any coordinate, fast enough to poll from a moving vehicle and neutral enough to log as evidence of what the system knew, when.
Use it for
- In-car AI assistants and voice copilots warning drivers en route
- Fleet telematics and logistics rerouting around fires and floods
- Delivery robots, drones and autonomous vehicles (pair with /v1/awareness verdicts)
- Insurers reconstructing what hazard data existed at drive time
FAQ
How does a car integrate it?
Any HTTP client — poll /v1/nearby with the current GPS position on a timer or route change. MCP-capable assistants can call it as a keyless tool.
Which hazards are covered?
USGS earthquakes, NASA EONET events (wildfire, flood, storm, volcano), GDACS major disasters worldwide — plus Geoscience Australia satellite bushfire hotspots in Australia.
Why signed?
If your assistant warned a driver — or didn't — the Ed25519 signature makes the data trail verifiable evidence of what was known at that moment.
Is it fast enough for vehicles?
It's a single GET designed for sub-second responses; region-specific layers only run when the position is in that region.
Keyless?
Yes — /v1/nearby and /v1/awareness are keyless.
