Google has been incorporating its Gemini AI into several of its products recently, and now, the world’s most popular digital mapping program will be getting some additional AI upgrades. In the blog, the company likened the technology to “having a knowledgeable friend in the passenger seat who can confidently help you get where you’re going.”

Google Maps is making navigation better with the power of Gemini, Google’s advanced AI assistant.

A new tie-up with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will allow Maps to display near real-time updates on highway closures and maintenance works.
