I believe google maps now automatically factors in carbon footprint when suggesting routes now [0] Time will always be a nice easy to quantify way of comparing routes but as someone who generally doesn't have to get places quickly I'll usually prioritise a more pleasant journey over the shortest one - so many (personal) ways to define that and not so easy to quantify! Personally I've had some great drives where google maps has a 'x mins longer' route show up that I can see goes down some twisty country road vs the boring main road.
