Google Maps can be a lifesaver not only in your home city but particularly when you’re traveling and want to find out how to get from one place to another. It doesn’t just show the fastest route to take in the car but also provides transit information and even directions for those who would rather walk. Google is now making it even more useful by adding support for 39 new languages to Google Maps.
Google Maps looked a lot different back in the early days over a decade ago and it was only available in English back then. A lot has changed over the last fourteen years as the service has been considerably improved with new features.
The company mentions that more than one billion people use Google Maps to discover new places and get things done. They rely on it to find the best driving, biking, and walking routes or just run a quick search to see how much traffic is there on their route.
Google announced today that it’s adding support for 39 new languages spoken by an estimated 1.25 billion people worldwide to Google Maps. The languages now supported include Afrikaans, Amharic, Azerbaijani, Croatian, Danish, Filipino, Turkish, and many more. All of them are listed on Google’s website.
The new languages are now available for Google Maps on both iOS and Android.

An Uber self-driving car was involved in an unfortunate accident last week which led to the death of a pedestrian. The car struck a pedestrian early in the morning at around 40 miles per hour and the accident resulted in her death. While the investigation continues, Uber has grounded its entire fleet of self-driving cars until a conclusion is reached. NVIDIA has also decided to do the same. The company has halted its tests of self-driving car technology.
There was a safety driver behind the wheel of Uber’s car at the time of the accident but a video released by the police show that the driver might have been distracted moments before impact. Toyota decided to suspend its self-driving car tests in deference to the emotional effect of the accident on its safety drivers.
A report published recently revealed that there were problems with Uber’s self-driving car project long before the accident took place. However, the investigation is ongoing and no blame has been assigned just yet.
Reuters reports that NVIDIA has decided to suspend its self-driving tests globally after the fatal accident last week. It has been testing its technology in many countries including Japan, Germany, and the United States. It’s pertinent to mention here that Uber is a customer of NVIDIA as it uses the latter’s computing platform in its self-driving cars.
NVIDIA’s global fleet of manually driven data collection vehicles will continue to operate as the company learns more from the Uber incident before deciding when to put its self-driving test mules back on public roads.

NVIDIA had revealed its RTX real-time ray tracing technology at the Game Developers Conference last week. Simply put, the technology has the capability to allow developers and artists to quickly render realistic scenes and thus change the way they work in 3D. The technology required robust graphics cards that NVIDIA hadn’t launched by then but it has rectified that situation today with the launch of its Quadro GV100 graphics processor.
NVIDIA announced the Quadro GV100 GPU at its GPU Technology Conference today and it’s the first graphics processor from the company that’s capable of powering its RTX ray tracing technology. Much like the Titan V, it’s also built on NVIDIA’s Volta architecture.
The GPU touts 7.4 teraflops of power for double-precision rendering which helps eliminate errors as well as 14.8 teraflops for single-precision and 118.5 teraflops of deep learning performance. It comes with 32GB of memory but can be scaled up to 64GB with multiple Quadro GPUs using NVIDIA’s NVLink interconnect technology.
NVIDIA Quadro GV100 is VR ready with maximum graphics and compute performance allowing developers to use physics-based immersive virtual reality platforms to create new experiences.
Bear in mind, though, that this GPU isn’t meant for the average consumer. It’s meant for artists and developers who will use this GPU in their workstations. However, it’s a big leap forward in bringing NVIDIA’s Volta architecture to more mainstream products. The company has said that the Quadro GV100 will be available starting next month.
