Google Maps AI routing feature to help car users avoid narrow lanes in Chennai, Bengaluru, Coimbatore

Google India is rolling out a new routing feature that will help four-wheeler users avoid narrow lanes during their driving trips. This feature is rolled out by the search giant only in India, and follows the company’s move to make maps-based navigation effective for two-wheeler users, which let motorcyclists find out shorter routes to their destination.

Bringing this new feature to market wasn’t easy as estimating road width is a hard job. Developers will need to factor in various hindrances in a narrow street from tree cover to vehicles parked by the side of the road. And then, this has to be multiplied by the number streets and avenues in India.
