Activity Detection from current mobile phone sensors are NOT accurate, but can be useful in some cases.

There is a confidence rating along with each activity detection, data is only returned if Confidence Rating is High.

still Stationary no motion detected
walk Walking walking motion detected
run Running running motion detected
vehicle Automotive vehicle motion detected

Confidences from iOS are either Low, Medium or High.

Note: multiple results can occur e.g. if a car stop at the traffic lights then both "still" and "vehicle" can be true
