      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.

      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.
