    Google Maps is changing the default route model from the fastest path to a specific destination to the most fuel-efficient.

    What this means is that Google Maps would no longer try to determine the fastest route to a user-defined address but actually look for alternatives in an attempt to reduce the carbon footprint and eventually find a way that helps you reduce fuel consumption. This will be the default setting in Google Maps going forward, but the good news is that users will also be allowed to switch back to the fastest route model from the settings screen.

    Don't want the fastest route? Wanna reduce the carbon footprint?

    Hey, Google, why not just tell people to walk. It's slow, but carbon neutral, amirite?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      The best way to reduce the carbon footprint is to not travel.

      Google Maps should tell its users to stay the fuck at home. It could adapt the exact message depending on the target. For instance, if the target is a clothing store, it could point out that the only reason why she is considering new clothes is that she became too fat and that she should loose weight instead.

        If Google also did that with a German accent it would be awesome.

        I was only joking

          It's actually a poem in German.

          Bleib verdammt noch mal zu Hause (Stay the fuck at home)

          https://lyricstranslate.com/en/stay-fuck-home-bleib-verdammt-noch-mal-zu-hause.html

          Stay the fuck at home
          The world has caught a virus,
          so I’ve written you a poem:
          We need your help to cure it
          so stay the fuck at home.
          And if you have got 12 kids
          or you're living on your own,
          lock it down and isolate
          and stay the fuck at home
          If you think you’re not at risk
          here, you’re living in a dome
          It spreads faster than a hooker's legs,
          so stay the fuck at home
          I need the gym I need the beach,
          I hear you bitch and moan
          You need to grow a brain cell
          and stay the fuck at home
          But I feel fine, I don’t feel sick,
          I’ll go out on my own
          How thick are you? You selfish prick,
          please just stay the fuck at home
          From LA through to Berlin,
          from Wuhan through to Rome,
          there’s people dying every day,
          so stay the fuck at home
          If you need to contact family,
          use Facebook, Skype or phone,
          we’ve got the fucking internet
          so stay the fuck at home
          The only way to slow it down
          is isolate not roam,
          please help the world
          get back on track
          and stay the fuck at home
          Stay the fuck at home,
          stay the fuck at home
          Don’t you be a fucking dick,
          please stay the fuck at home
          STAY THE FUCK AT HOME!!
