Will GPS and/or Siri ever have a function to help avoid bad neighborhoods/areas?

You sound racist.

Google Maps loves sending people through ghettos. It’s your penance for not understanding directions and location. If you aren’t afraid for your life using Google Maps, you’ll never learn your own sense of direction

I have a degree in Geographic Information Systems. 
Understanding direction is far different from understanding an area’s sociodemographics.

No, because idiots will yell, racisssssssssssssssssssss
They should have GPS units that say, "This area is 92% POC. Your call."

Only if white peoples neighborhoods are deemed dangerous to blacks.
They should add ability to avoid high crime areas which would be especially helpful for visitors to the area, but they will not as that points out a very inconvenient truth for the tech cartel.

Just look for bars on the windows
When the bars start showing up on the businesses, then it's getting worse
When they install bulletproof glass at the gas station, you'd better run fast

Yeah well what if I wanted to add seasoning to my route?

its probably there, just turned off to most people. If it isnt, it would be really easy most crime statistics are geomapped. would be easy to overlay that in maps as no go zones.

Maybe there could be a ranking system to help the algorithm decide your level of tolerance.

Zero shot, it would be labeled racist and they would be shut down.
My old economics professor used econ principles to study crime, and his big three was a Boost Mobile (no idea of this is still a company), Pawn Shop, and Payday Loan place. If all three existed in the same block, it was a bad area.

Google Maps tried this once. They briefly had a setting to avoid high crime areas, but people realized it was essentially steering people around black neighborhoods, and it was called racist and removed.

Sounds like a good SNL or MadTV sketch.

Just map out the Chick-fil-As first and follow them.

If anyone was going to do it it'd be X/Grok.
