That’s too funny. I honestly wasn’t sure how it determined if there was a traffic jam so I learned something too.

He set out to show the inaccuracies of technology and ends up helping technology to be more accurate. I guess he didn’t think about that, seeing as how he underestimated the value of technology :)

you get this from coaches / buses too. Was in Vienna and google says big traffic jams - turns out rows of coaches on the side of the road.

I'm just wondering why he has 99 phones and how? Did he buy them all by himself? That's a sh#tload of money. I couldn't do that just for fun.
The way Google Maps estimates traffic is by assessing the density of phones that enable the app to access their location, confirmed a Google spokesperson. Therefore, to the app’s technology, the only explanation for Weckert’s 99 phones in a condensed space was a dense traffic jam. The spokesperson also said, somewhat creepily, that Weckert’s experiment helps Google figure out where its geolocation needs to improve. It can distinguish between the motions of a car and a motorcycle, apparently, but recognizing movement in a wagon is still beyond it.
