Google Maps is an excellent way to get directions to a place, and the company just keeps updating this service to add more features. Today, Google has announced that it would add a feature called "safe routing" to help you find routes that are safer for you.
Find Safer Route Options With Google Maps
At its I/O event today, Google made an important announcement for the Maps users. It announced that Google Maps will soon get a new feature to make your travels safer.
Soon, the maps service will offer routes that are safer than the standard routes. You'll have the option to go with either the safest route or the fastest route.
How the "Safe Routing" Option Will Work in Google Maps
According to the announcement, the "safe routing" option will factor in various information to decide the safest route for you. It will take into account various things, like the condition of the roads, weather, and traffic data.
The feature aims to reduce the number of car accidents that happen every single day. Google's goal is to bring the vehicle accidents yearly number down by 100 million.
