Sheer guess google maps will analyze data from this and see if a potential attribute in data snapshot to improve reporting.

But it works, the roadkill and animals on road mornings get people looking around when they slow down.
Call me skeptical.... Waze uses crowd-sourcing for that type of stuff and if only (1) person reports it, I'm surprised they acknowledge it. Typically they need or expect multiple (who knows the #) before they accept it as valid and post it.
Waze posts it if one person reports something. Then it asks other wazers to confirm or deny. If someone else marks the hazard as not there it will disappear.
