Google brings new features to the Maps application every day. Finally, the application, which started to show the paid passes on the routes mentioned, again comes up with a feature that considers the pocket of the users. With its new feature, Google Maps now aims to reduce fuel and energy consumption.
Google Maps will be able to create the most environmentally friendly route
Google announced the new feature that will be offered in the navigation application to its users the other day. Accordingly, Google Maps will be able to calculate fuel and energy costs according to the types of vehicles used. After the calculations, the application will create the most suitable and environmentally friendly route for the user.
This feature allows the type of vehicle used (gasoline, diesel, hybrid or electric) to be selected in the application. After the selected vehicle type, Google Maps makes an estimate of how much fuel or energy users will consume on certain routes.
Thus, the navigation application now offers the most environmentally friendly route to its users, as well as the fastest route. In this way, users can start their journey by choosing the route they want. Google will soon begin rolling out this feature in 40 different European countries. Let us remind you that the last feature is only available for mobile devices for now.
Google has previously provided various road information, allowing its users to avoid routes with heavy traffic. Over the years, Google intends to make the navigation app more environmentally friendly.
Companies have recently started working together to reduce carbon emissions. Explaining that it uses artificial intelligence applications to reduce emissions, Google seems to increase its work in this direction. Alongside Google, another technology firm, Apple, plans to become carbon-neutral by 2030.
