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.
Why wouldn't I have my phone on me while driving? Where else would it be?
in a phone holder attached to your windscreen or vent.
Why? What do I need a phone for while driving, that shit is distracting.
gps nav, music, etc.etc.
GPS Nav: that is a feature a ton of cars have. Else, reading signs and basic orientation is a godsent.
Music: Why do I need my phone out where it can distract me, when bluetooth works fine from my pocket. And if a car doesn't have bluetooth radio works fine.
I think you just like texting while driving.
that's great if you never need to pause or skip tracks.
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.
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.
