A mixture of dead reckoning – _distance to travel divided by average speed of method chosen_ – and billions of data points gathered from phones that have travelled on that route at that time before and that are travelling it now – _on Tuesday mornings a car usually takes X minutes to go from point A to point B when there are this many phones along the route_.
