I always place my phone in the center console anyways, there would be zero way to tell who is driving. Not that I'd ever install such an app...

You would do that in a taxi?

I mean it wouldn't really make a difference if the phone is in my pocket and I'm sitting still or if the phone is in the center console.

If the gyroscope moves while the car is in motion, they can be pretty sure that you're not driving. Or you're texting and driving, but if the car is going a certain speed and you're texting, you're going to have bigger problems very soon.
