Google Maps adds reporting options for weather-related roadside hazards

The weather can cause disruptions, but these additions might make it more manageable.

Google is reportedly pushing an update for Maps on Android Auto that adds four new roadside hazards caused by the weather. The post claims the reporting options haven't appeared properly on Android devices, yet users on iOS are supposedly "slowly" receiving them. The app on Android Auto now conveniently features the "police" option at the top of the incident list, beside "crash," "slowdown," and "construction."
