(Reuters) — Google’s Maps app will start directing drivers along routes estimated to generate the lowest based on traffic, slopes and other factors, the company announced on Tuesday. Google, an Alphabet Inc unit, said the feature would launch later this year in the United States and eventually reach other countries as part of its commitment to help combat through its services.
