What’s Parking Like?
Posted on by Kolbe
We talk a lot about commuting here. You also hear a lot about commuting as technology improves. Things like electric cars, autonomous vehicles, alternate forms of transportation, but one thing that rarely gets mentioned is the end step. Parking. It’s often overlooked, but it is a crucial step in the commute. What’s the good of driving somewhere if you can’t park and leave your car once you’ve arrived? Google is taking steps to help you with this part of the commute. In a beta version of Google Maps, you can now be presented with information regarding your destination’s parking situation. You will be alerted to how difficult the parking is, and you can click to get more details on the parking in the area. Anyone who has arrived somewhere and had to circle the block over and over looking for a spot can appreciate now being able to have a heads up before setting out for your destination.
