Tech Bytes: Google Maps updates police reporting feature

Google Maps changes the speed trap tag to a more general "police tag," allowing users to report any form of police activity on the roads. Mercedez-Benz releases app for the Apple Watch, allowing for remote access to some controls and information of owners' vehicles. Spotify Wrapped set to release soon.

Google Maps is changing how you report police. The app has replaced “Speed Traps” with a “Police” tag, letting users report any type of police activity, like traffic stops or checkpoints. The update is rolling out now and should reach all users soon.

Mercedes-Benz is out with a new app for the Apple Watch. Drivers can monitor their car’s fuel level or charge and open the doors. It comes after Honda, Ford, and Volvo released similar functions on the device.

It’s that time of year: Spotify is set to release its annual personalized recaps of users’ listening habits. In past years, “Spotify Wrapped” has been released in the days after Thanksgiving. It’s become a social media sensation, as people share and compare their Wrapped data.
