  @freeloader2021 Is the problem FSD the Driver or FSD the Navigator. I think map data needs lanes selection like waze

  @JEllulz I liked when I was working in Los Angeles and Waze introduced the no unprotected left hand turns feature.

  @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.

  @TeslaKing420 A simple fix if Tesla would just bite the bullet and license Waze.

  @vad3rt3sla FSD should see them, slow down and mark them automatically like Waze. This would be more reliable then waiting for people to mark them.

  @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.

  @waze @Lean78 Hi Dani, Sorry that the link you shared has no content to continue/explain/report the issue. Just a couple of known issues with any 'next' or 'continue' button! It is a waste of time. It looks like you need clearer internal procedures to handle this.

  @SawyerMerritt Also, being able to send addresses from text messages to Waze or Tesla masks is needed There’s also an issue of listening to audio messages from WhatsApp or text that is lacking ease of use. Lastly, integrating Waze with Tesla masks would be the best. Live user feedback into

  I remind you these people @ZacksJerryRig had not idea what Lebanon was prior to this **** posting and now everyone is complaining to Apple that this is an issue - APPLE MAPS SUCK - NOBODY USES APPLE MAPS and in Lebanon THEY WOULDN'T USE APPLE MAPS THEY WOULD USE WAZE @grok tell them

  FSD needs some systemwide Waze type features. Road construction is one of the biggest issues with navigation.

• 
  Adam Clampitt (@AdamClampitt) reported 31 minutes ago

  @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.

  @TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

  @canttreadonmi @gilarutrina @TruthFairy131 You are so correct. For a moment, I felt bad for the victim. But now I see the error of my Waze and I’ll go whip myself and apologize for my absence of pigmentation. Yes.

  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?

  @BuckeyeEmpire Waze gives you at least half a mile to slow to 73 and look for the *******. Use it.

  It is the same with Waze or Google maps. Sometimes the route I selected is because different reasons and saving time is not important. Looks like a problem with all these routing software

  @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.
