Pablo Sarco (@jPabloSarco) reportedIt 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

AI_4_Healthcare (@AI_4_Healthcare) reportedπππ πππ'π πππ πππ π±-π¨π°-π΄ ππππ ππ πππ π-π¨π°-π. πΎπ πππ πππ π¨π° πππππππ πππ πππππ; πππ ππππ πππ πππ ππ πππππππ 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 β 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. π€ Of interest @lexfridman @garymarcus @LuizaJarovsky?

Rolando Freitas (@rolfre27) reported@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.

coco the pailot (@pailot_the_coco) reported@waze if you do not fix apple car β¦ Hello @TomTom

pocomotion (@pocomotion39001) reported@JOKAQARMY1 So you delete waze and use google? They share your dirt with whomever? What issue would cause you to sue waze? Itβs free, and you are free to use it or donβt.

Legs (@legsanity) reportedanyone else having trouble with the Waze app? i open it and it freezes
-
Barry Zahurance (@barryzed) reported@EliAfriatISR Waze says βturn on Main Streetβ but it should be βturn onto Main Streetβ. Thereβs no way to correct it, the grammatical error is baked in. Other than that itβs decent and I use it.

Louis (@Trolasse) reportedI also have been trying out FSD in Belgium. It is impressive for sure, but still not perfect. Too slow, and the routing is very bad: compared to Waze, it takes wrong roads that add a few minutes of trip time. It sometimes misses exits on the highway, etc. I think it is the future, but I don't think a lot of people would spend 100β¬/month for it currently (people in Europe have less money!). Maybe just take it during the holidays to make big trips, or if you are a senior (it drives better than my grandpa for sure).

Sef Kombo (@SefKombo) reported.@Waze please add option for a broken down vehicle

Lean (@Lean78) reported@zeerusli @waze Same problem!!

Snedley Grassbuckets (@sned) reported@wholemars Fix the bloody navigation. Use a reliable mapping service with local editors who fix problems quickly -- aka Waze.

the3rdestate (@the3rdestate_cl) reported@CoasterK24 so...on our "waze" type theme park app, we can include buttons on rides for users to check if a feature is working or not...like when you check that a car is still on the side of the road like waze etc, and you can report a feature not working etc...cl

Robert G. Schaffrath π₯π΅πΆοΈπ» (@whobeu) reported@ironcanary @TaraBull I went 6s Plus to 13 Pro. Too many important apps stopped working to keep using it. But I still use it for Waze.
-
diatribe (@d06h0201) reported@vad3rt3sla Pro tip work around: While using FSD, open the Waze app on your phone and leave it on the wireless charger. Won't be automatic slow down but it can give you time to adjust speeds.

OTTA π° (@ottabag) reportedHow do I fix my Waze or Google maps my **** keeps teleporting me

DuViousπ ASC? (@DewVious) reported@KetoOrkyy If you feel like you're awake but you're in a numb state, pull over and get some rest immediately. Highway Hypnosis is REAL and will **** you up. Move your head, move your eyes, park in a nice/reputable town somewhere during daytime and take a little 15 minute walk. If you don't need to be at a place at a specific amount of time, take it slow. NEVER go more than 10 (15 is okay if there's a backlog of people behind you) over when you're on the 10. Drink fluids, don't do too many energy based drinks. They'll give you a good boost but then you'll crash. NO DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS IN A DAY; also limit the amount of time you're driving if you've been up for 12 hours beforehand. Bit of an iffy one, but I never pick up hitch-hikers unless they look like they're on the brink of heat-stroke. Use Waze or Google Maps to know where police are, or if there's an accident ahead, etc. Bring items that you can use to repair your vehicle, duct tape, fix-a-flat, along with what Alexander Dross said in the replies. i think thats all i can think of rn

tanny.sol π» (@iLoveSpectra) reportedthis is a ******** in the face to we useful idiots who spent insane money deploying hotspots, working on HIPs, subDAOs governance. they just keep selling off the vital organs of the ecosystem and are giving nothing to the builders. were like Waze mappers who got nothing on IPO.
-
David Keyes (@DavidMKeyes) reportedBefore working with us, Ahmadinejad kept insisting that there are no gays in Israel. I told him it's pronounced "Waze," and we invented it.
-
TSLAnPA (@TSLAnPA) reported@vad3rt3sla Like Wazeβ¦ It would also be nice if there is traffic to know the reason: car crash, construction, etcβ¦
-
Maximilian Kirk (@realmaxkirk) reported@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.

The People's Party (@ESideEnt57) reported@hippyygoat Negative jurisdiction is in America you can sue WAZE contract for attempting to subvert jurisdiction. As jurisdiction in held were the issue took place.

Salvador Chavarria (@schavarriaTexas) reported@htsfhickey Fred - real life exampleβ¦google maps is actually now really bad at optimizing routes. Really badβ¦switched to waze which is also owned by google as you know but still seems to be working fine
-
AnonyMassLawyer (@anonymasslawyer) reported@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

Skylarbear (@Skylarbear10) reported@congressdj Just buy Waze. Problem solved.

Jacob Riverson (@EU_Cybertruck) reported@itskyleconner EV Waze wouldnβt be too hard to build the API cost would be the largest issue I see
-
Ian Bennetts (@IanBennettsAUS) reported@freeloader2021 Is the problem FSD the Driver or FSD the Navigator. I think map data needs lanes selection like waze

The Bass Hog (Jonathan Marlow) (@THEBASSHOG) reported@saltedfishdivin @BarrettYouTube Because you use the word, private prison, you have to understand that those are not government run operations. So it as a private business contracted to house criminals and it is trying to come up with Waze to make it profitable, rather than a complete business loss. One way is to get government subsidies, the other way is to allow them to employ their prisoners at a very low salary. A lot of the jails are starting to require that prisoners pay three dollars a day for their room, board and healthcare. If the prisoner is not already wealthy enough to pay that out of their own pocket, then the only option they really have is working. The other legal issue is the βexcept clauseβ of the 13th amendment, which says that slavery is abolished except as punishment for crime. The thing with Chinese slave labor is that they are turning people into criminals simply because of their religious beliefs and ethnicity, not because they committed a terrible crime.

Bobby Boulders (@ItsBig_Earl) reported@SnooCompliments You guys seem to put a lot of faith into Johnβs Waze app and a correlation of time done by a guy who has been pursuing a 4 year degree for 18+ yearsβ¦What exactly is the issue here? Trust the data right? Except when it implicates the house defendantsβ¦.then itβs obviously just wrong.
