Yes, it is. Amazingly accurate, too. If it says "if you take route A, you'll arrive in 29 minutes," it is right on the money.
Somehow, they can even predict when the traffic will start to slow down. So, for example, if you enter the LA area from the north at 3 pm, and the freeways look nice and clear ("green"), and you are heading for Orange County, the algorithm somehow knows that things will bog down at 4:30 and that the trip will take you a half hour longer than you would have predicted, based on the green appearance of the real time freeway map.
They must use data from Waze or some other source of real time info.
