Just as we’re using AI to improve features in YouTube, we’re building it into our Workspace products to help people be more efficient. Helping people be more efficient with Google Workspace and Canada - and people have used them to travel approximately 86 billion miles, helping save an estimated half million metric tons of carbon emissions, the equivalent of taking 100,000 cars off the road. Eco-friendly routes have already rolled out in the U.S. Launched last year, it shows you the most fuel-efficient route, giving you the choice to save money on gas and reduce carbon emissions. This feature will start rolling out in Google Maps for select cities globally later this year.Īnother big improvement to Maps is eco-friendly routing. And Google Cloud Immersive Stream allows this experience to run on just about any smartphone. What's amazing is that isn't a drone flying in the restaurant - we use neural rendering to create the experience from images alone. And if you’re looking to grab a bite during your visit, you can check out restaurants nearby and get a glimpse inside. If you’re thinking of heading to Big Ben, you can check if there's traffic, how busy it is, and even see the weather forecast. You can get into this immersive view straight from Maps on your phone, and you can pan around the sights… here’s Westminster Abbey. Say you’re planning to visit Westminster with your family.
These breakthrough technologies are coming together to power a new experience in Maps called immersive view: it allows you to explore a place like never before. Using advances in 3D mapping and machine learning, we’re fusing billions of aerial and street level images to create a new, high-fidelity representation of a place. We’re also bringing new capabilities into Maps. Over the last year, people used Google Search and Maps to find where they could get a COVID vaccine nearly two billion times. Throughout the pandemic, Google has focused on delivering accurate information to help people stay healthy. Today, you'll see how progress on these two parts of our mission ensures Google products are built to help. I'm excited to show you how we’re driving that mission forward in two key ways: by deepening our understanding of information so that we can turn it into knowledge and advancing the state of computing, so that knowledge is easier to access, no matter who or where you are. All this work is in service of our timeless mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Last year, we shared how new breakthroughs in some of the most technically challenging areas of computer science are making Google products more helpful in the moments that matter. And to the millions more joining us around the world - we’re so happy you’re here, too. To the thousands of developers, partners and Googlers here with us, it’s great to see all of you. Actually, let’s make that welcome back! It’s great to return to Shoreline Amphitheatre after three years away. We are grateful for the opportunity.Įditor’s note: Below is an edited transcript of Sundar Pichai's keynote address during the opening of today's Google I/O Developers Conference.
Thank you to everyone who helps us do this work, and most especially our Googlers. It’s exciting to build these products it’s even more exciting to see what people do with them.
Today, I talked about how we’re advancing two fundamental aspects of our mission - knowledge and computing - to create products that are built to help.
#Google keynote speech 2018 update#
And once a year - on my favorite day of the year :) - we share an update on how it’s going at Google I/O. The progress we've made is because of our years of investment in advanced technologies, from AI to the technical infrastructure that powers it all. In the decades since, we’ve been developing our technology to deliver on that mission. Nearly 24 years ago, Google started with two graduate students, one product, and a big mission: to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
