      I assume Google detects if you’re walking with your phone, so that walking people don’t mess up the traffic jam feature. And that dolley tricks these phones into thinking they’re in a car.

        I was under the impression that Google made that calculation based on average speed. But there may be something to that. Maybe it’s both.

      You say that like there’s something wrong with a wagon.

        Don’t get me wrong, I love the wagon!

      I’d rather lug 30-40 lbs. of equipment around in a little wagon.

      I’ll take a wild guess that he maybe wanted to build distance between himself and the phones, especially if he does this repeatedly. For a few phones, radiation and tissue heating is not an important consideration but for 100 phones it might be.
