Google Now`s new update helps daily commuters avoid traffic accident sites

Washington: Google might have reportedly expanded the utility of its Google Now app with the addition of a new feature that lets a daily commuter know if they are heading near a traffic accident.

The new update provides a commuter with a better chance of making it around the traffic, as Google Now sends a notification to a user who is likely to hit a traffic incident along his drive. According to a website, earlier the search engine giant had incorporated data from Waze to provide real-time traffic information for Google Now. Google Now, the search giants personal assistance app, which was introduced in 2012 answers users` queries and offers them data which the program thinks the user will want.
