Every month they send me an email with my km covered by each mean of transport. But how does the algorithm tell if i was riding my bike, or in a slow car? How can it distinguish buses from car? Only because buses stop more often, or because there’s more people with Android devices on the bus?
Thanks!

Google may know that you are in a car by your Bluetooth connection.
Google may know that you are on a bus if you are in close proximity to a dozen other people.
It may know you are traveling by bike by the motion on your legs peddling or the fact you’re going slower than a bus and you are by yourself.
Google also figures out traffic the same way. Many phones all going going slow.
