    Nice. And then soon it’ll be “watch this add to take the fastest route”.

    Then “subscribe for an add free experience” without subscription you get the add, as well as navigation that requires you to drive to a detoured location and take a picture of said location before continuing on to your destination (or yet another detour add, if the trip is long enough).

    Look at us, peak civilization here.
