With this update, Google will come up with the fastest routes and identify which ones are likely to reduce the chances of a brake problem, automatically suggesting that route if the ETA (or estimated time of arrival) ) is the same or differs from the minimum.

If you want to explore the city on a weekend morning without the crowds, you can immediately see the crowded hotspots to avoid.
