that's great if you never need to pause or skip tracks.

BS

a) I downvoted you b) I am a YouTube shill c) Fuck you

that means I get money from them, right? I'm still waiting for my check. YouTube is the best.

yeah, but they call them "shakes".

"shakes", heh. don't know what you're gunna get.

careful, that's a hardcore tankie troll you replied to.

in some parts of the world, it is, yes. And they put up cameras to catch and fine people for it. Ridiculous or not. 🤷‍♂️

two different things: yes, you can make a plausible determination of a person's position in a car based on sensors. yes, you can also not have enough data to make that determination.

It's absolutely possible with things like usage and gyroscopic sensors. You want to say software could never figure it out, I'll leave you to it. It's high school level physics.

gps nav, music, etc.etc.

tl;dr

nope.

I bet you think the inside and outside of a record turn at the same speed.

in a phone holder attached to your windscreen or vent.

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.

I'm not sure what you're saying, but it sounds like the opposite of what I am, and what's the opposite of what's legal in most places.

tl;dr

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.

if you say so. you're completely wrong, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

"when i drive i put my phone in the center"

that's my point. Or a holder of some kind.

as opposed to passengers who basically never put their phones in the center console.

especially for a taxi or uber. That would be insane.

again: the question is: are you a driver or a passenger? And I'm saying that that distinction is very plausible to make.

if your sole goal is to make it harder to tell in an accident, sure. This is just sensor data, not clairvoyance.

since always, as is the nature of "you liberals", given that preserving status quo is a conservative stance.

it's worth thinking if they put that money in a basic account with 5% interest (I get 4.5% in one of my accounts and 5.2% in another, so I'll simplify), with $24k in there, that would be $100 per month, or 20% of their monthly budget. 7% is quite common with basic etfs, but it's more annoying to move money back to pay bills then. My point is: this could/should last even longer. Money which doesn't increase in value, loses value (inflation).
