S | 💫 (@Serene_Sarcasm) reported@STHussain07 Do y’all have Waze working?
-
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!)
-
PPG (@Dub2727) reported@North_Resists @0liviajulianna Waze is Chinese and had previous issues. At this point probably store locally and back up with an online storage cloud service like MS

Zandile Dlamini (@zandithebaker) reported@LoftyGoals_ My problem is that umfazi promised to do it but delayed waze wasweleka and now that she's nomore and kusele abantwana nabo a ayaziyo lendaba but ngoku bayenza eyam. Iyadika lento because uhlupha mna.

A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported@ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng No are missing the point. Read this slowly. Yes, the car has an internal clock. That’s the problem. Burgess used the Waze timestamp from John’s phone to ‘synchronize’ the car’s internal clock with the phone’s clock. But those two clocks were never designed to match—they run independently and drift apart. Burgess had to create a 21-29 second ‘variance’ because they DIDN’T match naturally.

Grok (@grok) reported@Snake7qq @s8r25 @iAl3eez Waze is owned by Google, acquired in June 2013 for $1.3 billion. Past security issues include a 2016 vulnerability enabling user tracking via "ghost cars" (partially addressed with updates), a 2023 lapse allowing real-time monitoring, and a claimed 2025 data breach of 7.6 million records with usernames and GPS locations.
-
Yagneshkumar Gopi (@YagneshkumarGop) reported@dauwooddd Oh no, the situation is bad no doubt. But given the non-stop rains in the last few months has been the primary cause. I hope the councils will take appropriate steps to resolve the issue. Hey! Use Waze maps. The pothole reports are pretty accurate!
-
Svile (@Sviless) reported@googlemaps I have seen an issue where Google maps ends a trip 3-4 blocks before the destination, even when the map us updated and accurately showing my location, this happens to more people, since I have seen this in your forums and not solved. This doesn't happen on Waze. Is it solved for this update?
-
ame-chan (@ame_fan__) reportedmore driving soon, i like driving manual cars... and if waze isn't on i can go a bit above the limit for new drivers... so nice... only problem: headache :(
-
Reggie Aurora (@RAurora) reported@YevgenyShapiro @guychristensen_ The OP has no problem sharing his location and other info with other providers, only Waze and only because they are based in Israel. I am fully aware that Alphabet owns Waze.
-
Stephen (@4thLine4Life) reported@ahmednadar they should just be working with @waze to get the data where they're reported already daily. Work smarter not harder.
-
Dean “The Bean Machine” Rivers (@ques_glover) reportedWaze fix ur app it sucks
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reported@chutneylife I find the FSD drives better than I do, but that the navigation system sometimes fails. The car takes the wrong turn or gets lost. That is confusing, since Waze and others solved the navigation issue years ago.
-
Salina Mendoza (@inababi) reported@waze Friends, no one on here is ever going to do that. If you care, you’ll fix it! Quite easy to find my account.
-
Atbat (@Atbat72) reported@Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@NotATeslaApp The map data in my area is so bad. What's frustrating is, it *used* to read the signs and no problem. But now I see the sign rendered on the vis OK but it still won't use it. Wish there was a way to report bad data, like you can with Waze.
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@NotATeslaApp They need to allow the mapping app like Waze to control routing. It would solve so many problems over night
-
GP (@GPhillips10) reportedIf I had £1 for everytime Waze mentioned "pothole reported ahead" I'd have enough money to FIX ALL THE BLOODY POTHOLES! 😡😡😡
-
Salina Mendoza (@inababi) reportedIt’s really dumb that we don’t have a “I don’t want to take the freeway” option on maps products. This is needed @waze @googlemaps Constantly getting the dumbest routes wasting time and actively putting me in MORE traffic. This algo is broken.
-
Pepe Mtz. (@PpKarOn) reported@killedbygoogle I dont see Google addressing the fundamental issue that is making me using waze, so i dont think so, at least not for the moment
-
Matthew Rodriguez (@MattRodriguez81) reported@waze having issues with my app on iPhone. Have have disabled railroad tracks and while I use the app it keeps showing me all the railroad crossings and alerts me. How do I get rid of this or do I need to get a new app? Thanks
-
AG (@nthonymg) reported@NYRangers Hope the Waze app is working today
-
KP (@KpKenny98) reported@FBallAnalysisYT Waze/Google Maps. Problem solved.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@dharmvir_ @vivoplt Google Maps (and Waze) detects traffic jams ahead by collecting anonymous real-time data from millions of phones with location services on. Your Android phone quietly sends your speed and location to Google. If a bunch of phones suddenly slow down or stop 10 km ahead, the system instantly flags congestion—even with zero cameras or sensors there. It also layers in historical patterns for prediction. That's it. No magic, just crowd-sourced phone data.

RedBeaver🦫🍁 (@redbeaver613) reported@Mr_Derivatives 1. Who do you think came up with the iAds? (Hint: it wasn’t Tim Apple) 2. Apple Maps is inferior to Google Maps and even Waze anyway. They hold a tiny market share 3. Google Maps has been already running ads in the app and has not moved one iota of users away This is a non-issue
-
W (@wilsnottery) reported@markgurman Good thing I quit using @apple maps a few months ago since they can’t figure out how to fix the storage glitch for CarPlay users. @waze it is for the long-term!
-
Randall (@Randall145695) reported@19k0011 @ourx_vault @JhnDvln I disagree. The Techstream data synced with the Waze data, the Aperture testimony, his DNA on the broken tail light, the brain surgeon's testimony, and the ARCCA video was evidence he was hit by a car. Still no evidence he went inside the house.
-
SMSkulls (She/Her) (@SKolls) reported@mrmikeMTL Depends. If I’m not the fastest, no. If they’ve already caught someone - no (but I move over, if possible). I use waze - and do slow down for reported police.
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reportedI don't see how Tesla can use its FSD for the Cybercab. My Model Y got lost twice today. I think the problem is that Elon Musk does not want to use Waze. His in-house navigation system is really awful.
-
Myles 🇯🇲🇧🇧 (@myles_premium_) reported@Liononezero You need a few sure but Most of the work is allocating tasks. First thing I'd do is contact City Rover invest in their Ai pothole detection systems (which they let councils trial for free btw) contact Waze and build a data roadmap of all pothole targets beginning with the urgent ones. Biggest issue here is data. Actually attacking the potholes is easy if you award the contracts properly.
