Madu (@madureports) reportedPart 1: 21 one year old Jason Landry disappeared while driving home from college in December 2020. Jason was a student at Texas State University in San Marcos. On the night of December 13th, he left his apartment shortly before 11 p.m. and began driving toward Missouri City, where his parents lived. He was planning to spend time with friends during the Christmas break. His family wasn’t expecting him that night. Phone data showed Jason traveling south through Luling. At around 11:26 p.m., his phone stopped connecting to the Waze navigation app near the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Austin Street. Investigators believe he continued straight instead of following the main road and entered Salt Flat Road, an isolate gravel road outside town. Jason apparently lost control of his Nissan Altima and crashed through a fence before striking trees. Authorities concluded that it was a single-car accident and found no evidence that another vehicle caused the crash. At 12:31 a.m. on December 14th, a volunteer firefighter discovered the wrecked car. Its headlights were still on and the keys remained in the ignition. Jason was nowhere nearby. His phone was later found wedged between the driver’s seat and the centre console. The initial response created problems for the investigation. A state trooper inspected the scene, arranged for the car to be towed and removed ********* from Jason’s backpack. However, Jason’s clothing and several belongings were left along the road, and no immediate search for a missing driver was launched. Jason’s father, Kent Landry, learned about the crash and reached the area around dawn. After finding Jason’s phone inside the impounded car, Kent returned to Salt Flat Road. Roughly 900 feet from the crash, he found his son’s shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, shoes and watch scattered along the roadway. A small blood smear was found on the clothing, but investigators said it did not suggest a serious injury. There was no blood inside the car. They believe Jason may have received a minor cut while climbing out through the damaged fence or surrounding vegetation.

Chaos Theory (@Samwyri) reportedYou people don’t rate Waze. Any day, anytime. Only problem is tech by genocidaires and spawns of Satan. Active collaboration.

Randall (@Randall145695) reported@Asor1113 @DoctorTurtleboy @ALL_WEDO_ISWORK Ok, so now it happened outside before Karen even got back to Meadows? What a fascinating goal post shift. The problem with that is the dog would've had to attack and incapacitate him within about 20 seconds. Here's why: The high accuracy Waze data shows the SUV coming to its first and only complete stop in front of the house by the flagpole at 12:24:38 a.m. John's phone then recorded no movement for about 7 minutes as he sat in the car with Karen. At 12:31:56 a.m., a brief 20-second step event began as he exited the car. And at 12:32:16 a.m., his phone stopped moving until 6:04 when the 3 women found him and called 911.

Just4usewith_thisapp (@just4usewith) reported@naomirwolf @Uber Occasionally I have opened up the Waze App and had the volume on low so that the driver knows I'm comparing their route with the route from Waze. I stopped using Uber after the driver started pulling away from the curb before I was fully into the backseat-- and the door was still open. He only stopped when I yelled loudly. I use Lyft instead. All good, no problems.

Just call me HC 🇨🇦 (@DogzBreakfest) reported@Garnet_2203 @googlemaps @waze I TRULY DON'T CARE!!!! We have far bigger problems than a stupid name. Get with the program & start posting about Canada's immigration problems. Drug problems. Homelessness. There is a plethora of massive issues here so a stupid map choice is not my MAIN CONCERN!

Alan (@bitforth) reported@GergelyOrosz I am not surprised because I happen to have friends there. Google also uses them, Facebook names them differently but it's essentially the same thing. Especially in RL, the FANG documents, and so do most large tech companies. I would even challenge your claim that PRDs decide what should be built. In most companies, the core decision already exists before anyone opens the document either because a big customer problem has escalated, or an executive has set a priority, or sales demand a feature, a competitor has moved, or a small group has already agreed on the direction. A PRD RARELY creates that decision. They're mostly artifacts that large organizations require to make work visible to people who are not in the room where product decisions happen. You worked at Uber. You should know this better than most... the actual decision gets made in a meeting, a Slack thread, or a conversation between a few senior people. THEN the PRD is written just to formalize the decision, gather approvals, assign ownership, and create evidence of cross-functional collaboration. During calibration, that artifact becomes proof that someone “drove alignment” across six teams. The strongest case for a PRD is pretty much to stop people from building 6 different interpretations of the same idea, but then again... Google uses them aggressively and it is almost the perfect counterexample. It launched Allo and Duo while Hangouts already existed. It later killed Allo, split Hangouts into Chat and Meet, and eventually folded Duo into Meet. It ran Inbox beside Gmail for four years, then shut Inbox down and moved parts of it into Gmail. It acquired Waze in 2013, explicitly kept its product team separate, and still develops both Waze and Google Maps as overlapping navigation products more than a decade later. I am 100% SURE all of those teams had detailed PRDs. In fact, a polished PRD can make duplication worse. It gives every team a coherent narrative, supporting metrics, a roadmap, and a professional-looking artifact with which to defend its territory.

Among the Wildflowers (@deaflibertarian) reportedWaze has not worked well for me the last two days. I had to uninstalled then reinstalled for it to work. Then on top of that the steering wheel felt weird. Vibrations. I was worried that the vehicle was about to start having issues. Today I realized what the vibrating sensation was. My audio is always on Vol Max. I had forgotten to turn the sound off on Waze. It's been talking to a deaf woman who has been worried that she was going to have to call a toll truck.

Brusimm.com (@Brusimm) reportedDear #Waze, wtf is your problem today, telling me to take the long way home. The way I've never taken, while my usual, shorter route was just fine??? I remember when waze was the better option. And now... ? SMH.

InOneScoop (@InOneScoop) reportedShouldn’t Tesla fix its navigation issues instead of terrafab first? I know many like my fam that paused FSD subscription due to continuous navigation intervention. I man even Mapquest is more accurate. Hear me out: solution? Terra Giga Map Fab. A 335 football field long factory that will be the platinum (not gold) standard of all mapping. Compute won’t be a problem for this either because the terrafab 1 will then be joined by terrafab 2 which will be 10x larger for colossal compute power. I know I know you are asking “but why not just license and integrate Fkn Waze?” Well, for that we have to wait for Elons master plan 18 due in 2029

tog² (@tog128) reported@leviackermanft It's all experience based. My Apple Maps experience is horrific in the UK. Google Maps imo is functionally superior. Waze is FAR better than both but lately it isn't announcing alerts for camera etc and I have the same problem.

Toby (@maybetob) reported@khalidoncrypto @thedjmish waze is an eyesore and constantly has issues. all the actual useful "features" people brag about are also on google and apple maps

🫶🏽forcoloredsonly. (@waytooblunt_) reportedWaze was already based in Israel. Please stop the fake outrage every time yall discover a new piece of information. You move over to google or apple and you still gone have the same problem.

Nigel Poncewattle (@poncewattle) reported@oi8achevy @diaper @TeslaKing420 Wrong speed limit data can be fixed easily in Waze by submitting a map report. A local editor can fix it. Those fixes usually flow through to Google eventually. I've contacted the local editor group about getting this road fixed.

-
Matsobane ke lebitšo laka fela (@MatsobaneKgomo) reportedWaze has been absolutely useless these days!!! @waze fix your nonsense
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@ChuckCook It's aggravating to me because it's obvious mapmate or whatever mapping program they use has such bad speed limit data in it, and the car acts on that. Why couldn't they just use Waze for speed limits? If there's a problem with a speed limit in Waze, just hit the report button and a local editor fixes it within a day or so. Source: I've been a local Waze editor for 12 years.

Woody (@Porketh) reported@ListerLawrence Waze, for best updates of issues ahead. It once warned of "vehicle in lane ahead" on 4 lane, dark/ unlit rainy M1.... And there was a car stopped with faded hazards. Been loyal since then. Today, used LR nav as phone was dead. Took me down two closed roads in France.
