  @Altawesomeee Built this app to solve my own problem: I use multiple navigation apps, but none of their favorites sync together. I got tired of saving the same places over and over across Google Maps, Waze, Yandex, etc.

  Because your phone is basically a tiny traffic sensor. Google Maps doesn’t “see” traffic, it measures behavior. Thousands of phones on the same road continuously send anonymized GPS location and speed data. The system groups these signals by road segments and compares current speeds with historical patterns. When vehicles suddenly slow down, like from 60 km/h to 10 km/h, it flags congestion and turns the road red in real time. Then comes Waze. After Google acquired it, the real power was in combining data, not merging apps. Waze users actively report accidents, police, closures, and hazards, and that information flows directly into Google Maps. In return, Google’s massive data improves Waze’s routing and traffic predictions. So even if you never open Google Maps, your phone can still be contributing to traffic detection. You’re not just using the map. You are the map.

  @KetoOrkyy If you feel like you're awake but you're in a numb state, pull over and get some rest immediately. Highway Hypnosis is REAL and will **** you up. Move your head, move your eyes, park in a nice/reputable town somewhere during daytime and take a little 15 minute walk. If you don't need to be at a place at a specific amount of time, take it slow. NEVER go more than 10 (15 is okay if there's a backlog of people behind you) over when you're on the 10. Drink fluids, don't do too many energy based drinks. They'll give you a good boost but then you'll crash. NO DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS IN A DAY; also limit the amount of time you're driving if you've been up for 12 hours beforehand. Bit of an iffy one, but I never pick up hitch-hikers unless they look like they're on the brink of heat-stroke. Use Waze or Google Maps to know where police are, or if there's an accident ahead, etc. Bring items that you can use to repair your vehicle, duct tape, fix-a-flat, along with what Alexander Dross said in the replies. i think thats all i can think of rn

  @Proctor4Gov @Maggie725496820 Slowed down in speed for 0.6 seconds but didn’t record any collisions? If she hit John on the road moving in the opposite direction of the flagpole…how ******** did he end up over by the flagpole? If Higgins jeep was parked at the mailbox how come she didn’t crash right into it? You see how other details matter when you’re trying to claim this ridiculous collision? If the TL collided with his arm how’s he get the cut on the eyelid and nose and such bruised knuckles but zero bruising on the arm where he was supposedly hit? The marks on the arm (32) caused by only 9 little holes…no tearing, no leftover pieces in the sleeve…again, **** your janky Waze correlation and address the injuries.

  Why is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

  @msiziworld Waze is a community app.. it constantly needs people/users to update on any issues on a particular route… if no one does anything.. it’s simply useless!

  The Future is Autonomous (@SuperMajority18) reported 21 minutes ago

  @beyoncegarden I just dealt with a complete ******* Mass State Trooper working a detail at Logan Airport Departures Terminal E last night around 6 PM. I pulled up to drop off my fiancée, hopped out to grab her luggage, and was back in the car in under 30 seconds. Her phone was still connected, so I quickly switched it to mine to connect my Waze for the drive home. Total time parked curbside in the drop-off zone: less than 60 seconds. I wasn’t blocking anyone. This unhinged prick immediately starts waving me off, then yells “NOW! Get off your PHONE!” while aggressively marching toward my car. I nearly missed my exit home because of his bullshit. For no reason whatsoever, this douchebag escalated a perfectly normal drop-off into a hostile confrontation. This is exactly why law-abiding citizens despise cops and call them pigs. Zero justification, pure power-tripping aggression. Just another completely unnecessary, ****** interaction with police.

  @JohnWilliamFau2 @DixieNormu95224 @MafiaMasshole That’s not accurate. Burgess didn’t “discover nothing.” He used multiple independent data sources, vehicle telemetry, odometer readings, power cycle data, Ring and bar surveillance footage, Waze data from John O’Keefe’s phone, and the three-point turn, to align timing across systems and refine the vehicle timeline. Both sides’ experts were present when the SD card was retrieved, and the process was documented with photographs as outlined in Burgess’s report. The SD card and related modules are in evidence as part of the case record. DiSogra was not asked by the defense to conduct independent testing or produce his own report. Instead, he was retained to review the Commonwealth’s existing reports and opinions. He would have seen the images the experts took of the SD card in the report. He also acknowledged that based on the labeling in the report, he made an inference about what a chart meant, which the prosecution clarified was referencing a slightly different dataset. His opinion is based on reviewing existing materials, not independent forensic reconstruction. The defense did not make any argument that the 74.5% reverse event didn’t happen. Their position is about timing, suggesting the possibility that John locked his phone seconds before or after the reverse maneuver. That is a timing interpretation, not a denial of the vehicle data itself. John O’Keefe’s DNA was found on the back right taillight housing, his clothing, and a cocktail glass. Hair consistent with the victim was also recovered from the bumper. Debris collected from his shirt and sweatshirt included tiny fragments of clear and red plastic, with threads from his clothing embedded in some of the shards. Welcher also testified that an arm impact could be consistent with taillight damage if the vehicle was traveling over roughly 8 mph, and the TechStream data shows speeds up to 24 mph in reverse during the trigger event. You can argue interpretation, but it’s not accurate to say there’s no SD card integrity, no chain of custody, or no supporting physical or digital evidence. That’s not what the record reflects. The defense did not produce an expert to refute the reverse maneuver. I am also done with the gish gallop questioning. One issue at a time, not a rambling stream of consciousness of your "guesses."

  @CoasterK24 so...on our "waze" type theme park app, we can include buttons on rides for users to check if a feature is working or not...like when you check that a car is still on the side of the road like waze etc, and you can report a feature not working etc...cl

  @NevrEnoughX @billykyle @grok Which is why I wish Tesla used Waze maps for navigation. If there's an issue, click report button in app and someone local will be fixing it in a day or so. For example, when Virginia opened up 20 miles of new Express lanes on I-66, the day it opened Waze maps were already updated and routing people on it correctly.

  AmericanPowerUpgrade (@UpgradeAmerican) reported 29 minutes ago

  @SDembraski Would love if it pulled into MY driveway, not my neighbor's. Parking is a real issue — we need handicap placard support for spot selection. Navigation also needs work: FSD constantly takes scenic routes out of parking lots and even my cul-de-sac (starts a right turn, then yanks left to loop around the block). Surprisingly, Google Maps and Waze have the same problem.

  𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱-𝑨𝑰-𝑴 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒋-𝑨𝑰-𝒓. 𝑾𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝑰 𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔; 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 Big Tech is dropping billions like it's nothing. AI models are accelerating weekly ... from LLMs to AI agents to full orchestras of them running directly on our phones and desktops. Chatbots everywhere. Humanoids on the horizon. The world feels like it's spinning faster than anyone can track. Drones are no longer science fiction; they're reshaping warfare in real time, from Ukraine to the Gulf, amplifying chaos as conflicts escalate with tools we barely understand yet feel powerless to slow. Societal distrust is deepening. People fear massive job losses, bleak prospects for new graduates, and mounting risks around privacy and safety. Many believe governments are hopelessly behind and regulators simply cannot move at the speed of the technology they're supposed to govern. On this, they're not wrong. But here's the truth: AI is already everywhere ... we spread it around, ourselves. Every tap and swipe has been training it for years. Auto-correct, Grammarly, Amazon purchases, tap-to-pay, social feeds, Waze, Netflix — the list is longer than most of us care to admit. We've flooded social media with graduation photos, videos of family vacays, and parents' obituaries; freely, eagerly, in real time. We recycled passwords across hundreds of accounts and clicked "agree" without reading a word. Identity theft and privacy violations? We continue to feed this machine through digital non-hygiene akin to the plague. It's already a buffet for AI-enabled fraudsters that we've served up. Corporations built platforms we loved: convenient, free, endlessly scrolling, and we accepted the trade-off with eyes at least half open. The business model was never hidden. We just chose not to think too hard about it. We spread the J-AI-M ourselves, every tap and swipe, 7-24-365 for years. The workforce consequences are no longer hypothetical. Copywriters, paralegals, customer service agents, and new grads are feeling the ground shift. The economic upside of AI is real, but it's flowing overwhelmingly to shareholders, not displaced workers. We need retraining pipelines, and we needed them yesterday. The promise is equally real! AI is transforming healthcare, will accelerate clean energy, 10X our climate change fight, and take us to other planets. The j-AI-r is open; what's inside is not all bad. There is more real hope than ridiculous hype. Do we push for algorithmic transparency laws? Demand digital literacy in schools and workplaces, not just how to use AI, but how to think critically about it? Support liability frameworks that hold developers accountable for measurable harm? Insist that workforce transition funding be tied to the companies generating billions from automation? Yes, no, what else? We made this J-AI-M. We spread it everywhere. We must be honest enough about our own roles to navigate what comes next ... wisely. 🤔 Of interest @lexfridman @garymarcus @LuizaJarovsky?

  @Dan_Donovan_17 @HoldenMaur50368 Nobody is arguing that the GPS became more refined after Waze was opened. That’s normal. The issue is that you are treating the data interpretation as absolute and undisputed when it wasn’t. A more accurate GPS signal does not automatically prove the CW timeline or interpretation of events. Green’s point was about how the timestamps and various phone artifacts aligned with each other not whether GPS accuracy improved from 20m to 5m.
