With Google who knows, but I have the impression that they do consider elevation changes and lights at least. When I check a local road,
North Point Pkwy for example, it's slower uphill than downhill.
I'd like to see them take into account traffic, like they do with driving time, and also weather. And then scale it to the individual. They have the data - Google has a better idea of where I've been, and how long it took, than I do.
