Maps currently does do what you're saying - Google knows the time I'm going home and displays current traffic information and estimated time to arrive, at least for me.
Not yet preheating the oven though :)
- stef25 8y agoSame. But it gets such obvious things wrong. Instead of "traffic to [daycare center] is light" it says "traffic to [some weird company name probably registered in the same building] is light". Waze also knows where I'm going in advance and most of the time it gets it right, like every Thu evening "are you heading to [evening school] ?". My weekly schedule is exactly the same 99% of the time but sometimes it still makes obvious mistakes. If you need an AI for that it must be a very simple one, yet it still fails. Google maps also auto saves my parking location most of the time but other times it doesn't, for reasons unknown. Things like that make it hard for me to have faith in future versions of this stuff.
- GFischer 8y agoThe bizarre thing is that Waze is owned by Google. People speculate they haven't merged information due to regulatory reasons.
