Does google take weather conditions into account? I only know that it considers a metric fuckton of factors

Not from what I've seen.

Same, google took me down a flooded backroad in between two fields in the middle of a gargantuan rain storm while I was a couple hours away from any meaningful sign of civilization a few years ago. Water was topping the roadway itself as I hustle-limped to safer ground, and it was like 2-3am so I wasn't getting help anytime soon.

TBH, google can fuck right off with that "better route available" shit in the first place. I accept that my own user error is a factor in it being a problem, but often when I start a trip I select the route I'm interested in for reasons that lie outside google's algorithm. It isn't cool to settle into a drive only to be interrupted by "BETTER ROUTE AVAILABLE; USE THE INSIDE LANE TO EXIT NOW.(as I'm already passing it) DO YOU ACCEPT."
