I expect your idea of "reasonable speed" does not align well with the actual average speed of travelers along the route. The only time I see this ETA creeping behavior is when I'm on long a long trip, not in a hurry, and I intentionally drive at the speed limit instead of at the average speed of traffic to conserve fuel.
A navigation app that estimated based solely off of the posted speed limits would be utterly useless for 99% of all drivers. Ideally the app would learn from your actual driving habits and adapt based on them, but I don't know if any of the big 3 do that.
- bradfa 3y agoI think it's totally unreasonable for a mapping app to ever assume you can travel at a higher speed than the posted speed limit, but they all seem to do it.
- 0xffff2 3y agoThey all do it because within a very small margin of error, that's how everyone drives.
- BobaFloutist 3y agoIt should be illegal to estimate times lower than you can achieve within the speed limit - it means people leave later and have to speed to show up on time.
