Google Maps is finally bringing speed limits to iPhones

Apple users will soon get alerted when they’re driving too fast as the speed limits feature is coming to Google Maps on iOS and Carplay. The feature acts as a speedometer, with the tool showing drivers when they’re going too quickly which should help prevent speeding. It does so by the indicator changing colors when and if you go over the limit in the area. While the speed limits tool will be new for Apple users and soon to be rolled out globally, it debuted on Android more than five years ago. The feature is old news to those with an Android phone as it was first introduced in 2019 and then expanded upon in May of the same year, with more than 40 countries being added. On the Google Maps Help page, the company explains how the feature should be for “informational use only,” as they urge people to use their vehicle’s speedometer to confirm the actual driving speed. How AI is used in Google Maps to implement speed limits Google Maps holds information about the speed limits for many streets around the world, as they aim to help keep drivers safe. To do this, they rely on AI to help identify the speed limits along with imagery.
