Smartphones know when you're driving because they use sensors and maps. Imagine your phone is like a detective, it checks how fast you're moving, where you are, and whether the roads around you match what’s on the map. If everything matches, it thinks you’re driving! It uses things like GPS and motion sensors to figure this out.
Examples
- Your app waits until you stop driving before sending messages.
