Google is using AI to improve Maps. The project has been able to create a rich “immersive view” of the world using computer vision and other forms of AI.<\/p>\n
Other new features include eco-friendly routing and the Live View feature.<\/p>\n
The new immersive view feature will work on most phones and devices. It will give users a detailed, close-up look at places, including indoor locations (restaurants or event venues).<\/p>\n
According to Google, the new immersive feature will start rolling out in Los Angeles, London, New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo later this year.<\/p>\n
Eco-friendly routing options will be added to Google Flights. The feature helps users find eco-friendly routes for driving in Maps. This, therefore, shows users routes that require them to use the least amount of carbon emissions.<\/p>\n
Users searching for flights will be able to find carbon estimates next to other information like price and schedule. The eco-friendly feature routing was launched in Maps last year in the U.S. and Canada and since then, people have used it for traveling 86 billion miles.<\/p>\n
The Live View feature helps users find their way around places using AR to display arrows and directions.<\/p>\n
