How Google Can Help You Find Your Parked Car

The movie “Dude Where’s My Car” resonates with all drivers in some way. Everyone has experienced the hassle of scaling the mall parking lot looking for their seemingly lost car. Luckily, with this new app, Google enables you to find your car without even a click of a button.

While there is already an array of apps dedicated to finding lost cars available on the market, most of them require you to manually punch in your exact location. This can be very stressful, especially when you are in an unknown territory. With Google’s new technology, your phone will know when you left your vehicle. This app utilizes your device’s sensors, so it knows whenever you are in a moving vehicle based upon the speed provided by your GPS. Thus, whenever you leave your vehicle, your phone will automatically know your exact location without your help.
