From the article:

"Using billions of anonymous measurements from cell phones and vehicle sensors, Here Technologies, a location platform company, calculates how traffic conditions change throughout the day"

Emphasis on the word "billions". I find my own can be quite variable too. Large sample sizes should make that number more predictable.

More predictable does not imply more consistent. It just means you can nail down numbers like 10th and 90th percentile more easily. They'll still be far apart in many areas.

I'm not sure how you could understand statistics and make that statement. It's contradictory on the face of it.
