I am sure this happened to you at some point: You are trying to take a picture of a nice building, the nice view or some object but there are dozens of people walking by and getting in the middle of your shot. So you can wait for everybody to walk by and quickly take a shot, ask some friends to stop the traffic or come up with some other way to clear your shot. The good people at futureLab are trying to address this specific problem. They are offering a free online image editing tool called Tourist Remover that allows you to take a few images of the same object and ignore the fact that you have people going through and then let their application remove the unwanted objects.
How does it work? All you need to do is take 3-10 pictures of the subject (you don't even need a tripod for this), upload the images to their application and then Tourist Remover averages the pictures and removes anything that only appears in one of the shots (like walking people or moving cars). The application will not remove items that show in more than one shot (like a parked car), so make sure to upload shots that the objects that you want to be removed show only once.
Here's an example of the input pictures of a Ferrari:
