how does everything work

From now on, the service will take into account the fares on the toll roads on which the user plans to travel. Google said the tolls are based on reliable information from local traffic authorities.

Also, the service will take into account the time of day when the user crossed a certain part of the road. At the same time, the “Avoid tolls” feature remains available to help avoid toll roads or keep them to a minimum.

Google Maps was able to warn the user that there is a toll on a part of the road. The service can now estimate the total fare you have to pay for the entire trip.

Where toll calculation comes in handy

According to Google, the new feature can now calculate tolls for 2,000 roads in countries such as:

• UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
• India,
• Japan,
• and Indonesia.

In the future, the number of available roads will increase. Google Maps users will be able to take advantage of the new feature on Android and iOS devices.

Google’s artificial intelligence ‘gained consciousness’

Recently, it became known that Google management had to send engineer Blake Lemoine, who works with the artificial intelligence system (AI) LaMDA, on paid leave. Lemoine said she was starting to show signs of consciousness. Google denies such claims and clarifies its point of view.

Blake claims that LaMDA actually becomes intelligent, conscious and has the developmental level of an 8-9 year old child. Google Vice President Blaise Ager-i-Arcas and chief innovation officer Jen Jennai investigated and dismissed their suspicions, and the engineer himself was placed on paid leave.
