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.

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.

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).

doubt, but I'd believe it.

If we can tell if we are in the front or backseat due to how it feels when you go around corners and such, so can your phone.

driver side vs passenger would be the same deal.

of course, this is presuming the phone is on your person. Which, if you weren't driving - it would be.

doesn't need to, nor does localisation matter for this topic.

it's a matter of centrifugal forces on turns.

I thought upvote.au was an amusing domain, and the TLD only for Australians - but you're in SF?

I'm with you there.

Perfect was the enemy of good enough, and now we still have coal everywhere.
