WOAH 🚨 California Rep Carl DeMaio says California Democrats are creating legislation to control Apple Maps and Google Maps to dictate the commute you take
The bill is ‘AB 2015’ and “The politicians want to pass a bill, I can't even believe that they're trying to do this to regulate and manipulate Apple Maps, Google Maps, or whatever software you use to plot out your commute. What business is it of government what route you take?
Well, a lot of them are saying that they need to protect the environment. What it means is that your commute's going to take longer.
Literally, they're going to probably tell your map software, well, make sure we 'Fight climate change, so let's add 30 minutes to the commute.' This is absurd”
What this bill really does is it lets cities and governments tell these navigation companies there are designated “slow streets”
The fan demand these areas are “walking or biking zones” and they can’t route cars through
The risk is with this power in the future they can designate areas as high pollution zones and stop people from being navigated anywhere they want
This is something that must not pass
