The Register reports that ‘A patent application published in January describes a method devised by Google for gathering and analyzing data sent via wireless access points. The application says the device “may be placed in a vehicle and data may be obtained continuously or at predetermined time increments” and that the speed of the vehicle “may be factored into the analysis,” according to lawyers suing Google on behalf of people whose traffic may have been collected by the technology.’
