Well then they should know doing 90 mph is safe, while doing 45 on the same road isn't .

Of course not. Furthermore, their data collection can't tell whether you're driving or riding as a passenger in a New York cab.

I just went thru my phone locations/apps/permissions/all permissions to make sure they were off or signaled to ask permission. I most recently used google maps and in permissions saw it has a ''physical activity" tracker. I only want to use it to map driving routes not find out where I walk or how much activity there is in my house. Usually I drive with airplane mode and data off to save my cheap plan GB, and now after changes I hope apps won't be secretly spying while I'm not using them or in airplane mode.

It still records your gps location even in airplane mode, then uploads it as soon as you turn airplane mode off. Better to leave the phone at home for routine errand drives, or if taking a long trip where the phone might be needed in an emergency, turn it off before leaving. Better yet, use a flip phone without internet capability, such as one from Sunbeam.

Yep, I did the same thing.

They're not accused of spying through their own corporate sponsored app. They're accused of spying through third party apps; developers listed in the complaint include Routely (which monitors your trips and tells you where you have been and how often you have been driving), Life360 (which shows you the location of friends and family members who join the app), and GasBuddy and Fuel Rewards (two apps that help you find the cheapest gas and offer price reductions at certain gas stations).
