From the article: "Some would say the performance reveals the possibility of a more dangerous situation where Google Maps could be manipulated to divert traffic for purpose of malice."
"Some" say lots of stupid things.
Anyone could divert traffic "for purpose of malice" just by blocking the street with garbage, a car that pretends to be stalled, whatever. The reason this doesn't happen is because most people aren't jerks and criminals.
Hello Life, 04 Feb 2020Currently it is the only reliable Online map service that is available for free. It is highly ... moreThere is no thing called free when it comes to google.....
Smart, and it reveals the algorithm issues with Google maps.
This problem with Google Map's algorithm do exist in reality. In some countries, many people use motorcycles. Unless the user specifically indicated a motorcycle and use the navigation feature, I'm sure this affect the algorithm (a road being indicated less busy than actual, causing worse traffic irl since everybody is directed through it, or a car being directed to a tiny road simply because most motorcycles used it).

SizN80, 04 Feb 2020Are you sure? My P30 Pro is working great with Google Maps. :)and its the greatest foneat present day

Alex, 04 Feb 2020How is this guy "an artist" ? By what definition of the word ?He mastered the art of trolling.
Well one hundred cheap phones bought as a second and phone or on the bazaar or maybe wish site who knows.
Maybe there were brands which are unknown for even us.
Such as Blaupunkt, Cirrus, Lark, Myphone, Cherrymobile etc.
This experiment has no point, this service does not pretend to be accurate, but is just an estimate to help people. Now if people want to screw this off course they can, but that's is just being stupid, we would all be better off without that kind of behavior.
Wow i will let loose a cow herd in the middle of a city, it's going to be reconnecting farm and city. I will be the greatest artist ever.
Note7 owner, 04 Feb 2020It's certain no Huawei were in the wagon. Right, because the only Huawei devives that exists are those made after the ban?
There are plenty "old" Huawei devices with google apps and services, and seeing as he had purchased second hand phones for cheap, it is likely that there are some.
How is this guy "an artist" ? By what definition of the word ?
Hmmm... A hard problem I see. How about identifying each phone on how their sensors are triggered. For example, if they are stacked, it means the their accelerometers/gyros would show nearly identical behaviour on all axis. But this would mean higher battery drainage on a client phone as their sensors are always being engaged.
Anonymous, 04 Feb 2020And Huawei will never have the same bloatware that will affect the future tech. LOLYeah the same bloatwares that huawei trying so hard to have it back in their phones. LOL

It's not exactly Google's fault. Its the GPS chip or the Galileo.. the accuracy Is around 10-30m for public.. google can't magically judge if the smartphones are stacked one upon another. It's practically impossible to do so virtually.
