Despite the rumors... you can drive to hatch eggs.

[DenverRalphy]

I've see a lot of reports that the Pokemon Go app knows when you're walking or driving, and that driving won't hatch eggs.

From my experiments... Driving will indeed hatch the eggs. You just have to drive farther than you would have to walk. From my experiments, anything under 50mph but faster than a walk, the distance to hatch eggs increases, however the distance is adjusted so that you have to drive 3 or 4 times more than what you'd normally have to walk. Get on the Freeway or Interstate though, and your speed gets high enough that distance logged is halted altogether.

I know this because I had 6 eggs in incubators starting from 0km, and after an afternoon of running errands on local surface streets (and making sure the app was open with my phone sitting in the dash mount), I hatched them all. After that, I added another egg to an incubator before driving home, and the time that I spent on the Interstate didn't add squat to the distance traveled.

And before anybody asks... nope I wasn't watching as I drove. I'd check the statistics whenever I was at a stop that I knew would have me sitting still for at least a minute.

I hear 35 MPH is the limit for Ingress.

Anything under 20mph seems to be the limit on Pokemon Go...at least for me.

I just idle my truck and let it roll, normally stays around 10-15 mph and mine are hatching without issue.

I ride the bus to and from work, because it makes so many stops and drives slow in traffic, I had 5 eggs hatch today (2k and 5k eggs). Well, some of those eggs already had distance on them, but still!!
