Tim Hardvik

Google announced four updates of cards throughout Europe, designed to reduce dependence on driving and promoting a sustainable transport choice. Copenhagen, Stockholm, Warsaw and additional cities in the coming months. This function predicts when walking or transit will correspond to driving time, which is aimed at helping users to completely avoid car trips. Updates show selected bicycle paths along with existing warnings about traffic and steep hills covering 125,000 kilometers of bicycle infrastructure around the world. According to the company, only this function prevented 2.7 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2024, which is equivalent to the removal of more than 630,000 cars from roads during the year. In the coming months, Google states that he will expand the notification of limited areas to more than 1000 zones throughout Europe, including Italy, Sweden and Austria. Notifications mean that for drivers you can check the right to participate in vehicles and find alternative routes when necessary.
