Eco-friendly routes are coming to Google Maps
Posted: Tue Dec 17, 2024 6:10 am
In an article on its blog , Google stated that in the coming weeks, a Maps update will also be available in Italy that will allow users to choose an optimised route to save on fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions .
Behind the creation of the route there is a very complex algorithm, based on Machine Learning, which will allow you to choose the fuel of the car used to create a precise route.
The ability to choose a green route is having a big impact. Since its country email list launch in the United States and Canada, it is estimated that it has already helped save more than half a million tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to 100,000 fewer cars on the road.
Goodbye to Book Flights on Google for all countries outside the US
In recent days, Google announced that it will gradually remove the flight booking function . The reason is very simple: the feature was almost useless, since consumers prefer to book directly on airline websites.
Google will disable flight booking on September 30, 2022 for all users outside the United States. In the US, the feature will be eliminated on March 31, 2023.
