Hey @Trac1964, I believe the reason why your Fitbit Versa 2 is tracking steps is that whenever there is a movement to the watch, it detects it as a step. When your turn a steering wheel, you add movement to the watch tracking as steps. Hopefully, Fitbit fixes that issue or makes a device that goes in your pocket or shoe where it accurately tracks your steps.

Thank you for the answer 

I know it’s from arm movements 

Fitbit needs to improve app

where you can turn off the features for your arm movements

I agree that Fitbit should have a feature where you can click a button or ask Alexa to go into drive mode. Smartphones have had the feature of automatically going into drive mode when you start driving. If Fitbit was able to integrate a Drive Mode into future models, I would love that. Most of the time, I just put my Tesla into Auto Drive and live with it, but whenever I can't enable it, it kinda gets annoying.
