at the time it was built?

you can be my governor, baby.

if your cars don't turn, how do they leave your driveway? 🤦‍♂️ jeezus you people are dense as heck.

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.

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

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

it's not like people would just lie on the internet, is it?

(Mango has an unpleasant history)

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.

my money is definitely on human. Lemmy has a higher than normal ratio of this sort.

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.
