| Google Maps has received several new updates |
Artificial intelligence goes a long way in making Google Maps so useful, as the company can draw street maps ten times faster than it did five years ago and bring almost any useful map to every corner of the world.
Google Maps supports users to communicate with the real world and introduced Street View functionality in 2007. It is the first photography platform to give you panoramic views of streets around the world.
A year later, the company makes mobility available in real time directly from your mobile phone. Google first introduced Live View three years ago and introduced augmented reality technology for widespread mobility.
At its annual Google Developer Conference, the company announced several new updates to make it easier to navigate, explore, and perform tasks.
Reducing brake pressure:
According to research by experts at Virginia Tech Transportation, when using the brakes it can be the main indicator of a car accident.
By combining machine learning and navigation information, Google has found a way to prevent drivers from squeezing the brakes too hard.
With information about machine learning and navigation, Google Maps reduces the need for in-flight braking.
When you get directions in Google Maps, Google calculates a variety of route options to your destination based on various factors.
With this update, Google Maps will spot the fastest route and identify which route can reduce the risk of excessive braking. This path is recommended automatically when the estimated time of arrival is the same or the difference is minimal.
Google estimates that these changes have the potential to eliminate 100 million brake compression accidents on driveways each year. So you can count on maps so you can drive quickly and safely.
Real-time display of expanded and detailed road maps:
If you want to get around, you can use Google Maps to bring augmented reality into live view. When you are ready to explore new communities, you can instantly access Live View directly from the map and view useful details about local stores and restaurants.
Live View provides useful new road signs for complex intersections so you know exactly which way to take.
Plus, when you are traveling, Live View shows you where you are in relation to hotels and other locations so you can always find your way around.
The detail street map function was introduced in August and will be rolling out to 50 more cities shortly before the end of this year, including Berlin, São Paulo, Seattle and Singapore.
Artificial intelligence can help you understand the location of sidewalks and sidewalks, and the shape and width of the street.
This information can assist pedestrians in planning the most appropriate path, especially if they are using a wheelchair or pram.
Find the crowded places at a glance:
Every day, more than 80 million people use Google to access real-time residence information from specific locations. This information is continually expanded to show the relative activity of the entire area, for example if a particular block contains homes or parts of the city are more crowded than usual.
Custom card:
To help you know everything, Google designs maps to highlight the most important places based on the time of day and where you are traveling.
No matter where you are heading or what you intend to do, Google Maps has the information you need and AI to get there.
In the next few months, all of these features will be available worldwide on Android and iOS, and detailed street maps will reach 50 new cities by the end of this year.
