They'll know you'll be late, before you are
Fittingly the service is called Oops I'm Late!, and estimates (based on distance and speed) whether you'll actually be late and informs your colleagues or family members about that fact.
I wonder though if people that are notoriously and arrogantly late will use this, but for very busy people where this eventually happens it makes sense, as long as it's very easy to enter where you are supposed to be (and hence what you'll be late for).
GPS-based of course.

It reminds me a fascinating product created by Martin Frey, an interface designer in Munich. The product is called Just In Time Watch, and it helps its user get to appointments on time by providing a visualization of the time and distance to the appointment location.

It looks a bit "prototypie" though :).
It seems to use an external GPS module, but it's not too clear.
