Google maps is theory, not reality.

If a driver were able to drive at the speed limit for the entire trip and there was no construction, no accidents, no weather problems, no need to stop for gas, food or bathrooms, then maybe the trip could be 13 hours. My experience is during the summer it can take 13 hours from the Oregon border to SJC. The traffic around Sacramento can be horrendous.
