Experts say the new map features are a sign of things to come.
The company says it uses AI to fuse billions of Street View and aerial images.
The models extract map features such as 2D and 3D positioning of road signs.

Other models are responsible for validating speed limits on the map.
The models can also be trained in detecting and estimating traffic incidents and formulating ETA predictions.
“Say part of a four-lane road is occluded by trees,” Krishnan said.

“Humans can easily surmise that a couple lanes are hidden behind the trees.
Today’s machine-learning models most likely predict a two-lane road.
New AI approaches give a shot to mimic the natural behavior of humans to make better predictions.”
As AI maps evolve, the technology may have its downsides.
