How are navigation apps so accurate in the arrival time?

During a cross country trip, I keyed in a destination that was 2 hours away, through both urban and rural areas and through varying levels of rush hour traffic. I know they have ways of measuring instantaneous traffic levels, but how can they predict road conditions for multi-hour journeys?

They work off past data, combined with whatever available existing data they can get from phones further along the route you’re taking.
