I thought of this immediately when watching the keynote, but then they mentioned they used GPS technology, and I figured they would be passively monitoring to confirm that for the past X minutes the phone has likely been in a car (non-walking speed + on roads).
Clearly they aren’t doing enough of that if you can trigger this after waiting in line in a roller coaster park. I suspect they may end up geo-fencing known problematic areas as their algorithm doesn’t seem as great as they claim.
- t_von_doom 4y agoThe problem here is there is no guarantee that you’ll be in a car for x amount of time _before_ having a crash. Geofencing might have to be the way
- iggldiggl 4y agoWhat about temporary rollercoasters at annual fairs and suchlike?
