  @BenCarrollMP How many of the last 30 years have Labor been in office? And as far as reporting problems? Just get your blokes on Waze. The public are doing their best to warn each other.

  @LarryBrockJr Can anyone provide a map of the flock cameras in the Portland metro area? What about Waze? Is this another issue too tied to flock?

  @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.

  Thanks to the nationwide T-Mobile outage that just happened, I am now forced to deliver my first child on the side of a highway in Rhode Island. Our Waze app disconnected halfway through the ride to the nearest hospital. Please pray for my wife and I on a safe delivery.

  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.

  @jay26440083 @perryodontology nothing is wrong with using waze the app has a reporting feature that helps editors to fix routing issues. so unless someone reports it then it wont get fixed

  How my car crash happened At around 5:10 I was driving in Jackson on East Veterans Highway and I missed a left turn into Bowman Road, instead of doing the right thing I decided to make a “k turn” (the road wasn’t wide enough for a “u turn” since it was just 2 lanes, 1 each side) So I looked both ways, there wasn’t a car in the incoming lane for a while so I was safe there, there was a pickup truck behind me by quite a distance and against my better judgment I decided to make that “k turn” Anyways as I’m in middle of doing it and I’m in the OTHER lane I suddenly realize that the pick up drunk that was behind me is now trying to cut me off and was speeding at a much higher speed on the OTHER lane Before I knew what was going on he (I assume it was a man) went straight into me and I rolled over at least once and was then held upside down by my seatbelt Anyways I then hear a voice (I think from Waze) “were you in an accident?”, I said “yes”, “would you like to call emergency services?” And apparently they dialed 911 from my phone

  @scumbagdotdll @Molaau6 It's worth using today. Some QoL features were added, like cop call outs aren't possible if the reporting user is stationary; requires 2-3 repeats to validate; etc. Honestly, it seems like cops prefer Waze these days because people slow tf down and it's less tickets that they have to write. Less interaction with the public = less opportunity for incident.

  @Proctor4Gov @Maggie725496820 Slowed down in speed for 0.6 seconds but didn’t record any collisions? If she hit John on the road moving in the opposite direction of the flagpole…how ******** did he end up over by the flagpole? If Higgins jeep was parked at the mailbox how come she didn’t crash right into it? You see how other details matter when you’re trying to claim this ridiculous collision? If the TL collided with his arm how’s he get the cut on the eyelid and nose and such bruised knuckles but zero bruising on the arm where he was supposedly hit? The marks on the arm (32) caused by only 9 little holes…no tearing, no leftover pieces in the sleeve…again, **** your janky Waze correlation and address the injuries.

  @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.

  @NotATeslaApp No, I don't see the benefit of using waze over what already exists. Tesla's already communicate to the "network" and report road issues/etc. If the use case is "reporting where police are", stop being illegal?

  @teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.

  Dear #Waze, wtf is your problem today, telling me to take the long way home. The way I've never taken, while my usual, shorter route was just fine??? I remember when waze was the better option. And now... ? SMH.

  @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.

  @Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 The WiFi login time came from Karen’s phone. Guarino’s testimony. Uncontested. The GPS data can be wrong within its stated error range, which was very small while Waze was activated.

  Shouldn’t Tesla fix its navigation issues instead of terrafab first? I know many like my fam that paused FSD subscription due to continuous navigation intervention. I man even Mapquest is more accurate. Hear me out: solution? Terra Giga Map Fab. A 335 football field long factory that will be the platinum (not gold) standard of all mapping. Compute won’t be a problem for this either because the terrafab 1 will then be joined by terrafab 2 which will be 10x larger for colossal compute power. I know I know you are asking “but why not just license and integrate Fkn Waze?” Well, for that we have to wait for Elons master plan 18 due in 2029

  @401_da_sarpanch This is the exact thing I've been saying. These ******* clowns don't speak English, have no idea where they are going and will cross five lanes of traffic last minute to hit an exit because their Waze is slow. I've seen mother ******* backing up on DVP exits. @OPP_HSD

  @Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 She got within WiFi range at 12:36:39. Waze records very precise GPS data (error radius less than 5m) with accurate timestamps. From the time Waze was activated (12:20) to when then arrived at 34 Fairview (12:24:38) we have incredibly precise time/location data for the SUV

  @AutoInfatuation I’ve always used Google Maps and never had any issues. We’ve also got TomTom in the vans and I’ll be honest, they are shite, especially in central London. Tried Waze once and really couldn’t get on with it.

  @markgoldbridge You are a moron. We broke the bank for really elite upcoming young talent. Mind you CR was 12 million only. Waze was the next best thing , made sense it was broken. Rio was the best english defender , also broke the record. Veron was the exception and a miss.

  @naomirwolf @Uber Occasionally I have opened up the Waze App and had the volume on low so that the driver knows I'm comparing their route with the route from Waze. I stopped using Uber after the driver started pulling away from the curb before I was fully into the backseat-- and the door was still open. He only stopped when I yelled loudly. I use Lyft instead. All good, no problems.

  Monty Simmons (@simmo71084) reported 59 minutes ago

  @TheEXECUTlONER_ I do this at times when I suspect the police are just ahead (the bear box is growling or Waze shows a cop). I have seen this 1000s of times. It is as if the driver is afraid you are going to block him behind the car he is following. Just know that the driver of the truck following the vehicle in the slow lane is watching you. You can stay back for 30 minutes, and that driver will not pull into the fast lane. But the moment you get close enough to pass the vehicles in the slow lane, the truck (or whatever) will pull out into the fast lane. One way to prevent it is to know the truck driver is watching and, when you get close enough, speed up and hope the Driver is not paying attention so that you close the gap too fast. Be ready to hit your brakes just in case the driver is paying attention and pulls out anyway.
