It doesn't mean that it will take legality into account, it means that they should have a database of illegal crossings as well (they already have one of legal ones - a map).
- garyfirestorm 9y agoHow do you propose on building a database like that? Any patch of road which is not a legal crossing is inherently a potential* illegal crossing. I think illegal crossings are non deterministic and hence unpredictable. Edits
- gojomo 9y agoThis particular illegal/discouraged crossing was apparently enough well-known to local road authorities that they'd put up a street sign, discouraging crossing. (Yet also: median areas were paved so as to suggest walking there.) A giant like Google may have enough sufficient-resolution geolocation data to know non-crosswalks where many walkers tend to cross. (How did the tech giant know the chicken crossed the road? The chicken's phone logged their approximate location every few seconds.)
