    @MatthewCappucci We have navigation apps, and we have weather apps. Why not bring them together? Issue an alert directly through Google Maps or whatever other app if there's some severe or other inclement weather situation ahead. Waze does this to a certain extent with fog and flooding...

    The map box issue isn’t the primary issue, it’s the Waze Data API getting shut down, I have no way to obtain that data legally

    @Heston83 If we all allowed DOT/traffic operations to track us via GPS, like Waze users, they could have dynamic traffic lights that could sort out traffic light sequences in real time… Once all cars are self driving , congestion will go WAY down. Cultural adoption will slow it down

    @InstacartHelp My shopper account was deactivated due to Waze technical error. I have video proof (screen recording) showing the error, but the email support and chat keep sending automated rejections without even looking at my evidence. I need a HUMAN to review my case. Please help! #Instacart

    @RippleXrpie Why my speed cemeta alert in Waze not working

  • SoftwareDev2021
    SoftwareEngineer2021 (@SoftwareDev2021) reported

    @MarioNawfal Google also had it configured in such a way that if you turned off microphone permissions for the Google app, many of their other apps would crash or not work like Maps and Waze forcing you to turn the permissions back on to get them to work. Based on that it appears that it was intentional and not an "oops" moment.

    @deefinewhine Don’t use Waze. The problem you complaining about not gonna change because we drive fast in every lane but the left which causes accidents every morning. In reality most people drive like *******, if we just remove the speed limit like the south it will be better.

    @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.

    @BrunoTaltalian @adamscochran @mrddmia What is the intent to let someone know a speed trap is up ahead? Well it informs them to slow down. Which is actually safer. It creates safety hence Waze isn't shut down. Whereas telling everyone where ICE is is inviting violence.

    @Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.

    @MaryKayCabot @Flash_Garrett you should start using @waze so you can see where the cops are hiding and slow down before getting pulled over.

  • mklopez

    The minute I was logging off the office computer, Waze in my phone was alerting me of a crash right at the entrance of my condo. By the time I was sitting in the car, traffic was so bad that it was suggesting wild routes home... in short, almost 45 mins late, I'm here.

    @USSMogger @chefhealthcoach @grok Jews are disproportionately educated, hard-working and innovators. Of course there are a disproportionate number of rich. And Nobel Prize Winners We gave the world Einstein, Waze, DiskOnKey,Pillcam, Drip Irrigation,ICQ, solar heaters… You? Moonshine, bad grammar & antisemitism

    @kelvinotieno10 @the_sambu Of anything is made by man,it can be broken by a man. The builders of waze reverse-engineered the system

    If you are having trouble navigating with Google Maps / Waze in the Middle East due to GPS jamming, try Apple Maps. Somehow that’s working.

    @MrAndyNgo @VenturaReport I'm just convinced they're jobless, bored and trolling. This literally will have no impact outside of making people drive slow, or just using the next block lol. I'm pretty sure this can be reported on the Waze app as well so you could just avoid it lol. . .

    @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!)

    @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.

    @saswat101 @waze Imagine this: instead of just a "pothole ahead" alert, the app provides exact GPS coordinates and dimensional photos so crews know exactly what they’re dealing with before they even arrive. Even better? It can use traffic data to pinpoint the absolute best time to fix them—when traffic is at its lowest—to minimize the headache for everyone. This is the kind of data-driven city tech we need.

  • ahmednadar
    Ahmed Nadar (@ahmednadar) reported

    @4thLine4Life @waze Waze tells drivers to dodge the pothole. SolveTO tells the city to fix it. Different problem. Waze has the data, but it stays in Waze. Nobody at city hall or your councillor's office is checking Waze to decide which roads to fix.

    @lunarleahhhhh You can’t have it both Waze boys…. Either quick protesting when they do get violent criminals, or when they are released at the border, they can cause problems here on the interior.

  • grok
    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.

    The biggest problem with CarPlay is enabling it to synchronize with Tesla FSD. If you input a destination in FSD using Tesla’s native navigation system, it isn’t going to match what you see in Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps. Integration is a lot more complicated than it seems.

    @waze What's happening with support for using @TIDAL or is it a TIDA problem? It hasn't worked for me in years.
