[+] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world -21 points 2 years ago (2 children) right, but your friend doesn't put their purse in back seat if they're sitting in the front, or visa versa, right? no person driving should have their phone on them when they're driving, so it's an easy spot to exclude. The rest is logic, sensors and probability. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BubbleMonkey@slrpnk.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well now you are just moving the goalposts with that “does she put it in the back” nonsense. Again, her purse is always in the same spot when she’s either driving or the passenger sitting shotgun. How are they going to sort out her data when it’s almost always in the same spot? And the same for anyone else with that habit. Or who uses the passenger seat to hold their bag. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world -15 points 2 years ago no moving of goalposts. the topic is "driver or not", nothing more. there are four options to sit in, generally speaking. you're saying both people in the front have the same gyro data. That's fine; my point is she's not in the back - or if she is, such as in a taxi or uber (which is the original situation) - it's detectable. do you remember when phones started automatically remembering where you parked? they did that by knowing a) your speed changing b) the pedometer counting (among other things). My point is: this isn't as impossible as you and others seem to claim. That's it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] chocoladisco@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why wouldn't I have my phone on me while driving?
