I am convinced that Google maps runs ‘canary routes’. Like a canary in a coal mine testing the air - If I am on a road and it decides to send me down an unused lane, which eventually spits me back out on to the main road, that’s when it has decided it needs to refresh the data in that area and I was the unlucky one chosen to do it.
If I was designing it, that’s probably what I would add, but I’ve never seen a reference to it…
My conspiracy theory is that sometimes it sends streams of cars down lanes like that to reduce traffic for others/VIPs. I’m not usually a tin-foil hat person but after a SF commute it makes me wonder.
