US-based technology giant Google has announced an impressive feature for Google Maps, which has become one of the most popular navigation applications in the world. According to the statements made by the company, Google Maps will now show the most efficient routes in terms of fuel consumption. In this way, users will have the opportunity to consume less fuel while going anywhere they want.
Although the new feature created by Google seems to be developed for users, the main goal is to protect the planet. The company says that it has made some calculations on the subject and that thanks to this feature, around 1 million tons of carbon emissions will be prevented annually. This value equates to the fact that around 200,000 vehicles are banned from traffic and not used for a year.
If you’re in the US, you can start using the feature right away
According to the statements made by Google, users in the USA will be able to start using the fuel-saving route feature as of today. However, there is no official timetable for users in Europe or other regions yet. At this point, the company only marked the year 2022.
Although the new feature that has started to be made available for Google Maps is quite effective, there are some unknowns. For example, it is not known how Google calculates fuel. In addition, it is not clear how the fuel-saving routes will differ from the shortest distance, how the journey times will change. Industry experts predict that the company uses artificial intelligence for this feature. . .
