-
Dogsrgreat : pass the A1๐ค (@Dogsrgreat2) reported@FIRs_GIRs @BLKMDL3 They are working on a Waze integration. They already use Google Maps but I have heard rumors of this for a while. They try to cut every penny of cost. Itโs about ROI. Software is cheap hardware is expensive.
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@teslaloosa Itโs more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.
-
LeBBC (@Big_Black_Coq) reportedThey simply slow down when police are spotted or WAZE warns them, then they speed right back up.
-
Jizas MacStina (@Tshepo_McStina1) reported@KayMatthews_10 @LimChronicle Problem is some see cops and assume waze will automatically know
-
24AmyO! (@Gotkickedo45700) reported@SteveLovesAmmo Problem, sheโs fixing them all at the same damn time. Sheโs flicking us off on her way out! I hate her!! ๐ก Thank goodness for the Waze App! ๐

The Future is Autonomous (@SuperMajority18) reported@beyoncegarden I just dealt with a complete ******* Mass State Trooper working a detail at Logan Airport Departures Terminal E last night around 6 PM. I pulled up to drop off my fiancรฉe, hopped out to grab her luggage, and was back in the car in under 30 seconds. Her phone was still connected, so I quickly switched it to mine to connect my Waze for the drive home. Total time parked curbside in the drop-off zone: less than 60 seconds. I wasnโt blocking anyone. This unhinged prick immediately starts waving me off, then yells โNOW! Get off your PHONE!โ while aggressively marching toward my car. I nearly missed my exit home because of his bullshit. For no reason whatsoever, this douchebag escalated a perfectly normal drop-off into a hostile confrontation. This is exactly why law-abiding citizens despise cops and call them pigs. Zero justification, pure power-tripping aggression. Just another completely unnecessary, ****** interaction with police.

paperwork nota (@icecoldbanger) reported@WormWoodMotorCO same issue @waze whatโs happening ???

Ahmedkhan (@Ahmed___khaan) reportedBecause your phone is basically a tiny traffic sensor. Google Maps doesnโt โseeโ traffic, it measures behavior. Thousands of phones on the same road continuously send anonymized GPS location and speed data. The system groups these signals by road segments and compares current speeds with historical patterns. When vehicles suddenly slow down, like from 60 km/h to 10 km/h, it flags congestion and turns the road red in real time. Then comes Waze. After Google acquired it, the real power was in combining data, not merging apps. Waze users actively report accidents, police, closures, and hazards, and that information flows directly into Google Maps. In return, Googleโs massive data improves Wazeโs routing and traffic predictions. So even if you never open Google Maps, your phone can still be contributing to traffic detection. Youโre not just using the map. You are the map.

DJT is Back๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ (@CABO_BABY) reported@Farmerboynate @BenMFreeman And if you have such a problem with Jews and Israel, stop using all the things that our 0.2% of the world population has developed & makes. Cellphones, voip, waze, many medicines, etc.
-
Mark Phillips (@iMarkPhillips) reported@waze You're suggesting that as only some the messages are spoken and others not that its a 'cache' problem????
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@NevrEnoughX @billykyle @grok Which is why I wish Tesla used Waze maps for navigation. If there's an issue, click report button in app and someone local will be fixing it in a day or so. For example, when Virginia opened up 20 miles of new Express lanes on I-66, the day it opened Waze maps were already updated and routing people on it correctly.
-
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.
-
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 congestionโeven with zero cameras or sensors there. It also layers in historical patterns for prediction. That's it. No magic, just crowd-sourced phone data.

Twigs (@TwigsJohnston) reported@CuriosityonX Waze stopped working and this is where I ended up.
-
Avni (@FawkOffAhole) reported@apple the latest beta up date seems to have some glitches! Uploads are slow ! And Waze has issues too I have to unconnect from the infotainment system to get the screen on it otherwise it stays frozen
-
JasperReikevik (@jaspertube_) reported@GeminiApp @Google We use Waze and we don't use Maps but Waze has problems connecting to Gemini so this is another missing spot
-
OTTA ๐ฐ (@ottabag) reportedHow do I fix my Waze or Google maps my **** keeps teleporting me
-
SA Broadcaster (@RSA_Broadcaster) reported@DadaMorero You're folding on almost every single road in Joburg. Fix the potholes!!!! Go on Waze and just see the mess!
-
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 100โฌ/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).
-
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.
-
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
-
Zlatan Gomez (@zan_diva) reportedCan I vent ??? As a person from the townships who moved to the suburbs.. I'm struggling with Police visibility.. my brain associates cops with trouble.. I'd only see cops when they are WORKING.. here they just around, nje.. Just parked nje. Waze shows 9 cops.. nje just present
-
The Pixi (@nachitopixi) reported@waze @MarkKennedyQW Bunch of us hare having the same problem
-
David Makogon (@dmakogon) reported@AustyUSA Donโt forget all the people who hate on CarPlay, with snarky comments likeโฆ comparing to a coke freestyle machine. Tesla software is nowhere near perfect. Map/direction issues, non-trivial air control, small fonts & touch zones, no Waze, no proper group texts, on and on.
-
Red Rocket Ruckert ๐ (@silverspoonfed) reportedThe issue with Waze is that they try too hard
-
B52Returns (@B52Returns) reported@BeltParkway @Johnnycesartist @nypost Thats not clearly seen in the picture. But Waze can help with that. In fact when I am forced to slow down too much, I start marking police locations in waze as a F U to the speed trap cops.
-
Courtney Nicholson (@courtsmegan00) reported@Lean78 @waze Us and others are having the same issue
-
spencer ยนโท ๐โโฌ (@svtquest) reported@sadorbrave @waze she is literally going to crash her car waze please
-
NOMERCY (@NOMERCY4UTODAY) reported@HumanityChad If this was NY, they would have put two orange cones around it all summer, then decide to fix on Monday at 8am so Waze can reroute you because the street is now closed because of road work.
-
Antiquated ๐Rogue (@ontologyofRouge) reported@ItsBig_Earl @ReverendSpeck @BCLAW Again, youโre trying to predict injuries just go with the actual data that we have the car data, the phone data, and the Waze data. He had no dog bites. There were no dog DNA there was no dog hair, dogs have lower teeth. The scratches matched the broken tail light.
