Elitists can BITE ME #GodSaveTexas 🏴 (@GGIL1603) reported@DJxAngel @m_jeniagd There are ZERO 6 lane hwy's in NY. No Cross Island Pkwy 2 lane madness...that's actually fun working your way upstate. It's pass on the right with a turbo, and not following landscape trailers ever..... Don't depend on Apple map or Google Maps.... use WAZE as they will share shortcuts, and point out upcoming jams, wrecks and cops...also plot your trip before you go..

John Jaani Janardan (@Ex_secular786) reported@bornauthority Fitness certificate is granted by central authorities. If it comes to this then please remember pooja khedkar case, Waze, Anil Deshmukh etc. fix your personal problems then wonder about others

Michael Hernandez (@capturehappy) reportedDid you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

Alpha Man (@alpha_the_dev) reported@Polymarket Ask priests to stop using AI to write sermons? That’s cute, but AI isn’t some optional gadget anymore. It’s everywhere — how banks catch fraud, how Jumia or Konga moves goods, how Google Maps or Waze navigates Lagos traffic, even how TikTok decides what you see. Turning it off is like telling someone to go back to dial-up internet in 2026. Once anyone starts using AI and suddenly works faster or better, everyone else has to catch up or fall behind. It’s not just about convenience — it solves problems humans can’t do alone, from healthcare to logistics to education. At this point, AI isn’t a toy for sermons or tweets. It’s part of how the world runs. You can limit reckless use, sure, but asking it to disappear? Impossible.

THE IMPLEMENTOR (@KaraniTroy) reported@GearstoGoals Just download Waze and your problems are sorted
-
Jonathan Mills (@ICommunityNote) reported@DillonLoomis @butala_aryan Can they just partner with Waze and fix everything overnight? That would be good.
-
Nkululeko Makhoba® (@uNkulu_M) reported@Bheki_Nyathi Maswanganyi vs Sundowns bad first touch, was slow waze wathathelwa ibhola I was so frustrated lol
-
Jen (@LegalMindedGiGi) reported@Dan_Donovan_17 @factsdontlie10 I believe the Waze time issue was discussed in first trial.
-
GP (@GPhillips10) reportedIf I had £1 for everytime Waze mentioned "pothole reported ahead" I'd have enough money to FIX ALL THE BLOODY POTHOLES! 😡😡😡
-
🔥 (@ArtTed___4) reported@PieFaceMark I’ve been working in London these last few weeks and been beating Waze and google maps every time going home . Using the #knowledge 👌🏽
-
The Sentient Dog Group (@e_considine) reported@The_Suburbanist I would say the obvious problem with your original idea is coordination. How do you coordinate 'paying people' not to drive into an area to limit specific traffic jams? If Waze offered that I suspect some people would try to make money by driving into rush hour traffic.
-
Brittney🥪 (@kurizmatik) reported@JEllulz I liked when I was working in Los Angeles and Waze introduced the no unprotected left hand turns feature.
-
Bill Zanetti (@BillZanetti) reportedThe main issue left unsolved with Tesla full-self-driving today is Navigation. The current maps used have tons of navigational issues. Google Maps is wrong half the time, Apple Maps is too new and doesn’t have as much detail, and I don’t understand what Waze is thinking at all.
-
Elkad (@Erezeneb) reported@JSX423 It should be using a tele lens and reports from apps like Waze to slow down when it sees a revenue cutter.
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reported@andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down
-
Red Rocket Ruckert 🚀 (@silverspoonfed) reportedThe issue with Waze is that they try too hard
-
Steve Cook (@cook_stevo) reported@waze your alerts are broken with the latest update
-
Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported@HermanBovens @Teslarati Tesla uses Google Maps which uses Waze community edits on it. Tesla throwing out google maps probably isn't in the cards. Maybe using Tesla's own hyper accurate maps as overlays to Google, and maybe FSD could contribute road closures etc. (and use them from Waze to fix some stuff I've recently scene!)
-
Nick Johnson (@NickJ_UK) reported@premnsikka You are right. But I am afraid money is not the only issue. It’s also about the quality of road works or “patching”. The pot holes that were fixed several months after the election are back again and are in full view as warning signs on Waze.
-
Twigs (@TwigsJohnston) reported@CuriosityonX Waze stopped working and this is where I ended up.
-
Adam Clampitt (@AdamClampitt) reported@Teslarati Has anybody seen 14.3 do a better job in real time for blocked and closed roads? That has always been a huge problem. Waze always seems to know what roads are closed and the Tesla NAV doesn’t.
-
SA Broadcaster (@RSA_Broadcaster) reported@DadaMorero You're folding on almost every single road in Joburg. Fix the potholes!!!! Go on Waze and just see the mess!
-
TSLAnPA (@TSLAnPA) reported@vad3rt3sla Like Waze… It would also be nice if there is traffic to know the reason: car crash, construction, etc…
-
Ben (@bfayers_) reported@AIMgains @AutoPap Picked it up a couple weeks ago, it is lovely! Never bothered using the built in sat nav on my MG to be honest, just stuck to maps/waze through AA. Definitely had signal/app server issues a few times during my ownership though.
-
diatribe (@d06h0201) reported@vad3rt3sla Pro tip work around: While using FSD, open the Waze app on your phone and leave it on the wireless charger. Won't be automatic slow down but it can give you time to adjust speeds.
-
Amy Corrigan (@AmyCorriga28306) reported@waze your app isn't working on Android all day today
-
Belt Parkway (@BeltParkway) reported@cashandcarrots @BobFromAccounts just use waze camera database and slow down for camera then speed up when there’s no more camera
