Maps has introduced a new feature called Immersive View for routes, which allows users to visualize their entire route before starting their journey. Using computer vision and AI, Immersive View combines Street View and aerial images to create a detailed digital model of the world. This technology provides users with a multidimensional experience that shows important information such as bike lanes, sidewalks, intersections, parking, and air quality along the route. It also takes into account historical driving trends and simulates the number of cars on the road at different times. Immersive View for routes will be available in several cities in the coming months.
