What is Mobility?

Google defines “mobility” as the movement of people, goods, and services.

To assist in development of mobility solutions, Google offers their Mobility Services.

These services include APIs and SDKs to solve two primary use cases:

Ride share services
Food and package deliveries

A core component of Mobility Services is Fleet Engine, a backend service to track vehicle locations, update ride and delivery statuses, and provide Analyze Fleet.

This demo focuses on Fleet Engine and its use in mobility solutions.
