More fuel-efficient routes on Google Maps can eliminate a million tons of carbon, Says Google.
Needless to say, we can all do a lot more to help cut down on the CO2 in our atmosphere. Because of this, Google Maps will now give people suggested routes based on how much fuel they’ll burn on the way; or better yet, how much fuel they won’t burn. By Google’s calculations, by simply giving more fuel-efficient routes, the app will cut back on at least a million tons of carbon going into the air every year. This is roughly the equivalent of taking 200,000 cars and trucks off the streets. Google didn’t explain how it determines which route consumes less fuel, but hopefully, the results will speak for themselves. Users in the US should be seeing the more fuel-efficient routes in Google Maps as early as today. Europe will see this feature next year.
We just saw the Pixel 6 Pro in a hands-on video
We’re just days away from the Google Pixel 6 series launch, and fans of the brand are anxiously waiting. Just before the launch, we got a leaked hands-on video showing what the Pixel 6 Pro looks like in person. The video which was posted to Twitter mostly focuses on the front of the device. The Pixel 6 is rumored to have a 6.4-inch 1080p+ OLED display that could run at 120Hz. The Pro variant is rumored to have a 6.7-inch QHD+ display that could also run at 120Hz. The main story behind the Pixel 6 is the fact that Google will be introducing its own custom-made SoC, the Tensor chip. The company built this octa-core chip on a 5nm process. Everyone’s excited to see how it will stand up against the Snapdragon, Mediatek, and Exynos chips. The Pixel 6 may have a dual-camera setup with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. This phone will be able to shoot 4K video up to 60fps and 1080p video up to 120fps. The Pixel 6 Pro will have the same setup with the addition of a telephoto camera. This camera will be able to zoom up to 4x optically. Both phones will come with a 12-megapixel selfie camera that can record 1080p video at 30fps. If you can’t wait for this phone, it will be available to buy on October 19th.
