Yes, You guys have read it correctly. I’m about to mail both the tech giant of technology about a new feature which should not be hard to build for them. I was driving my bike I named her ‘Bhoot’. It was 2 am at night I guess, I always wear earphone while driving if I’m going somewhere new, some place which I have never been before. It was exactly same situation, I was coming from a friend’s house, and she lives very far from my home, so while driving back to home I started google maps. I’m not ashamed of accepting that I’m scared of dark,I usually get lots of thoughts if I’m driving alone , like the scary once, That time I thought what if there is a feature in google’s maps like scared mode, which if i kept on, a personal assistant or any voice will talk to me until I reach my destination, so that my mind will not be focused more on that scary thing and it will be engage with the conversation. Conversation like, “how was your day?”, by checking time like its night or day, lets say its night then the assistant can ask me “so what is your tomorrows plans?”, some questions likes this to engage a conversation. I think this will help a lot of people who drive alone at night like me. They should warn people before activating the feature if they are going to keep the conversation to learn more about the person or else they should not recored the conversation, if user reaches his destination then all the conversation should get erased.
Thats what I was thinking to write in my mail. I guess it will a good feature. I use iPhone and I love my iPhone, but I uses google maps more for my navigations because I trust google more than apple’s maps, I really want apple’s maps to do good in India and I want it to improve a lot so I’m sending this mail to apple too.
I hope it will make any sense to people out there.
Peace.
