Your phone isn't secretly listening to you, but the truth is more disturbing

iPhone will tell me that I have a 25m drive to get to work. Literally why? I know where I work and how long it takes. I have done it enough times for it to learn what I do at 07:30 in the morning. Is it just flexing repeapetedly that it did a simple inference?

Some places, including the Bay Area where this feature was probably created, have significant variance in commute times depending on the traffic of the day so this can be a useful feature.

The commute time from SF to Cupertino is certainly not constant.

As a mere hick I’m sometimes oblivious to the lived experience of the ~~~~ SC crowd.
