I love how there's all these science and software experts who think this is impossible, when it is clearly very easily possible. It's not a question of if it's good (it isn't) or if they should (they shouldn't).
Hiding your heads in the sand and collectively saying they can't - in a pro-privacy group - is insane. It's like reading about how you can hack an air gapped computer and having a bunch of Amish say it's impossible.
Maybe figure out how they are first, then talk about what to do about it. But this collective "nuh-uh!" is nuts.
Nobody said it's impossible, its not possible with the consumer grade hardware in your phone and what an app will have access to. Sometimes it even has issues just figuring out if you've turned your phone to landscape or not
Also, nobody said they weren't going to try, the claim that they can do it with any degree of accuracy is BS
"nobody said"... and then goes on to say it's impossible 🤦♂️
jfc you people. 🤦♂️
You should look in a mirror, because you're the densest one here, you're just not getting it
It's possible with high precision sensors in a device meant for that purpose i.e. NOT your average phone
Its NOT possible with any sort of degree of accuracy with the commodity grade sensors available in most consumer available devices
The "app" that they "pinky promise" is accurate, isn't. It can tell when you're moving and coupled with GPS even what speed and that's about it. Any promises about being able to determine where you are in the vehicle are a lie.
The sensors built-in to your phone are done so for the job of determining the position of the device relative to YOU the PERSON NOT relative to where YOU AND your phone ARE in the physical space i.e. is it in your pocket, are you trying to rotate to landscape, is it upside down. NOT where you and your phone together are in physical space i.e. what seat you're in.
yes, with your average phone.
I'm sorry you failed highschool physics.
