This Apple Maps feature will also delight electric car users.
How will Apple Maps route suggestion feature work according to the car?
Although it is currently at the patent level, Apple is looking to bring an important feature. As you know, it is important to see where the charging station areas are on the map, especially for electric car models. Apple Maps actually has a similar route suggestion system in automobile integrated systems.
However, Apple is planning to bring this feature on the Maps application. According to the patent, Apple Maps will create alternative routes according to the type of car. In particular, features such as suggesting routes according to the charging status of the electric car and creating and suggesting routes according to the nearest charging station are included in the patent.
According to the patent for Apple Maps, when you enter the license plate and other detailed information, different features will be activated. Accordingly, Apple Maps will show the restricted roads according to the type of vehicle. Apple Maps will also have the opportunity to suggest alternative routes to the driver according to these license plate and vehicle restrictions.
The beloved Apple Maps application is set to introduce a highly important update. Here are the most important details...
In short, the Apple Maps app is looking to get to know your car better and offer a more useful navigation service according to the information you enter. This new feature will also show how much energy electric cars have left and how much fuel is left in gasoline cars. In particular, it will automatically calculate how much fuel is left when the car reaches the charging point or gas station.
Although Apple’s patent does not emphasize artificial intelligence, the predictions are that all these features will be supported by artificial intelligence.
