True, but the app is inducing demand for cars, so it’s both a symptom and a cause.

  Maps tools actually work extraordinarily well in denser cities. They find you the best bus and transit times. They allow you to use mixed mode transportation like bicycles in between while your enjoy the city. Arguably this is a richer experience than a route only accessible with car, for which a paper map would have been just fine. The maps business also thrives where businesses are accessible to people, not where cars are whooshing past them. So I don't think they're enthusiastic about cars either.
