    @therealDeFlock Has anyone made an app that tracks them or maybe puts them into the Waze app since police sightings, accidents, and even pot holes are crowd sourced. Like reporting it as a broken traffic light. Make that a code for a flock camera on Waze.

    @Finnaboutanut @DonShift3 Google maps is integrated with waze now too my man. If your trying to avoid them, dont use Google maps, waze, or apple maps. Atleast Waze is fairly accurate with police location you can slow down before hand

    @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.

    Launched a little experiment @maptoearn. User reports at Waze were always a scaling problem. Trying to fix it with incentives this time. x $M2E per report. No expectations, just a side project.

    @leahfiles Here's your reply from the AI that just don't lie Speculative Intelligence Analysis: Waze as a Compromise Vector Location Pattern Exploitation**: Waze's continuous GPS pings, route history, speed data, and timestamps create a granular digital shadow of a target's movements—revealing regular visits to sensitive locations (e.g., hotels, clinics, private residences, or protest sites). An intelligence actor with access could cross-reference this against public records, social media, or other surveillance to build "kompromat" dossiers on affairs, medical issues, financial dealings, or undisclosed associations, then use timed leaks or implied exposure to coerce compliance, payments, or information. Real-Time and Predictive Targeting**: Live traffic/ETA data allows dynamic interception or influence operations—knowing exactly when someone is isolated in a vehicle or arriving at a vulnerable spot. Combined with app permissions (microphone/camera in some scenarios, or linked device data), it could enable opportunistic collection of audio/visual compromising material or facilitate "honey-trap" logistics by predicting availability and routes for assets. Historical data also predicts future behavior for pre-positioning. Network and Ecosystem Amplification**: Since Waze feeds into Google's broader data lake (and originated as an Israeli-founded company subject to local laws), aggregated user data can be queried at scale for social graph mapping—identifying who travels together, meets whom, and when. In a full compromise scenario, this integrates with OSINT, hacked devices, or partner-nation sharing to pressure targets via family/financial exposure, or even engineer "accidents"/discrediting events by manipulating perceived travel patterns. Privacy controls are weak once data leaves the device, and legal jurisdiction adds layers for state actors. This remains hypothetical and draws from known app telemetry practices. Actual misuse would require lawful (or illicit) access and is constrained by laws in most jurisdictions; strong operational security (VPNs, app isolation, location spoofing, minimal permissions) mitigates much of it.

    You people don’t rate Waze. Any day, anytime. Only problem is tech by genocidaires and spawns of Satan. Active collaboration.

    @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.

    @OGsDontFold Google Maps is so trash. Randomly won't give audio updates for turns, suggests locations further away for no sensible reason, randomly loses connection and stops updating directions. I have tried Waze and it gives me similar problems. There is no winning these days.

    @JackLinFLL Just to check if it was working I used @waze to remind me if my attaché case was in the back seat.

    @JOKAQARMY1 So you delete waze and use google? They share your dirt with whomever? What issue would cause you to sue waze? It’s free, and you are free to use it or don’t.

    @wholemars @DevinOlsenn It could be, if able to change the speed limit control on the screen. This could actually fix two major issues, current speed limits being wrong as the entire neuro-net could be updated in real time, like in Waze, and the system can properly adjust to user preferences as it would know what said preferences are

    @AnxiousHolly I stopped doing it awhile back too. Only reason I do it now is if an app IS having an issue. Or Waze… it never wants to let go of GPS signal otherwise.

    @HenMazzig Did they give up their amart phone, the nevigator they use, The clean water they drink, the face time ups, their medical advanced service, technology, their stens.. their waze... oh wait, its ALL Israel' inventions! Who is working now on a stunning hypcricy magic heal capsulate? Their way to the psycho is open...no one can save these idiots from their selves

    @ZachAbramowitz It's heavily context dependent. For some use cases, the downside is equivalent to getting lost from Waze. In others, it's more like a car crash.

  • poncewattle

    @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.

    The @waze app has become a PAIN in my *** over these past few months. At first I thought it may have been a CarPlay issue or due to my data, but it’s not! It doesn’t update in a timely fashion like it used to and I end up having to bust a u turn because I’ve gone the wrong way

    @realericmoutsos @leahfiles who is ever going to have a problem with an app like WAZE that you would need to go to their home office?!

  • Tesla_PNW
    Tony Velasco (@Tesla_PNW) reported

    @PhasedGravField @mikepat711 It's a big revenue earner here, along with excessive speed on hwy 500, where FSD has no probable going 15 or more over in Standard, Hurry, or Mad Max. The cops absolutely camp almost every morning along hwy 500 in se eral hidden locations in an area where traffic regularly goes ten to fifteen over and just rack up car after car. I have Waze running, so know when they are setup in those hidden spots, and make sure to drop to chill at least a mile before I get to that area when they are there to give FSD time to slow down, since it is often a sluggard about slowing down to new speeds when you change profiles. It will do it, but not always quickly.

    Dear @waze I love your maps! However, since you added the animation at app launch, my app locks up and I can’t put in my desired address. It works about 50% of the time. Please fix it. In the meantime I’ll be using @Apple maps.

    @ChinaEV_Eng_Lif Try coming to Eastern Europe; Tesla cannot fix its maps for 2+ years. Waze really is the gold standard; too bad there is no native app.

  • bitforth
    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.

    The old Waze fail because there’s no restrictions on the billions of dollars if you have a restriction point it at this money will be used for homelessness. That’s a restriction no restriction they do whatever they want with it. That’s the problem. Federal funding a restriction
