    @RobH02050318 @WallStreetApes Most self driving vehicles are going to induction charging. Think like the iPhone mag safe chargers. They would just park over the charger. The braking system is regenerative so they don’t need to be replaced as often as normal brakes. The sensors in the vehicle would allow the person at a main hub to see everything related to the vehicle like tire pressure, battery life, etc. GPS like Waze operate in realtime and many partner with the weather to warn of things like high winds and forest fires. Only issues I see are building the infrastructure (which the mass production of cybercabs this year will accelerate) and states adjusting their regulations to better accommodate self driving.

    @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.

    @GretchenVoss64 Laposata looked at no evidence. Scordi Belo said it was both likely and unlikely that he was hit. Also couldn’t say for certain as positioning not known. AARCa testing did not even use the weight and size of Officer O’Keefe and frankly a little bit shady… all those deleted signal messages and “ billing “questions. . They did state though that Karen backing into John’s traverse did not cause that damage. You all love to parrot “ he was not hit by a car”. He easily could have been side swiped and that is not impossible. Google accidents by side swipe. I believe in the timeline, tech stream data, Officer O’Keefe phone data, including Waze. Most importantly, per MS Read herself… on video and in written words.. her tailight was broken at 5:08 am. Before CPD ever got the call and beofre MSSP got the call. Voss got it right.

    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

    @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.

    Why is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

    @emollick And I'm convinced that Waze does the opposite... Always prefer the slow route through a residential neighbourhood so the users feels like they're taking a "shortcut".

    @LeinadFre @FPSCANADA_SS_ZZ @koshercockney Just a taste of Israeli technology inventions: Computing and Software: Israel invented the first commercial firewall, ICQ (the first instant messenger), and the Intel 8088 processor that powered the first IBM PCs. Medicine: The PillCam is a pill with a tiny camera you swallow to check for gut issues. Other tools include the ReWalk robotic suit that helps people with leg paralysis walk again. Agriculture: Israel is the home of modern drip irrigation (like Netafim). This system sends water drop-by-drop straight to plant roots to save water in dry climates. Cars and Road Safety: Waze uses data from drivers to map the best routes. Mobileye makes computer vision chips for cars to warn drivers about road hazards. What have you done? Antisemitism, although you certainly didn’t invent that. 🙄

    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.

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

    Ever cried on the road? Well, 01.00am, I am in Abu Dhabi, both Waze & Google Maps are not working. The signage is blacked out. 20 mins of frustration, driving & not knowing where you are going. I just started crying. Wanted to drive back to Dubai but had left something at the hotel. Pulled over to order a taxi to guide me but couldn’t even pin to my location. Na ni highways. Hakuna maduka to ask

    Waze was already based in Israel. Please stop the fake outrage every time yall discover a new piece of information. You move over to google or apple and you still gone have the same problem.

    I 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 100€/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).

    @gotrice2024 20 minutes is brutal—I’ve been stuck nearly that long on a slow freight crawl with no U-turn option. Best move is to use Maps/Waze for detours on known problem crossings and always treat malfunctioning gates as active: better late than risking it. What’s your usual route?

    @thsottiaux Reverse engineering the USB protocol between lightburn/ezcad to a 100W fiber laser I have that I've avoided using because the software is so meh. Maybe if I build a programatic interface I'll actually use it. Launch an app I've been working on for months thats like super waze ; connects to radar detectors and shares the pings with other users. Spend a good evening reviewing new tools/skills and workflow stuff.

    @AustyUSA Don’t forget all the people who hate on CarPlay, with snarky comments like… 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.

    @leahfiles Switch to OSMand. Offline opensourced navigation. No tracking and no internet required. Works in the most remote places where Waze or Maps fail and stop working. More features and options than Waze and Maps combined. Take ownership of your privacy.

    @Cappo1Capponi @Biffdon That’s what I never could get with on Waze. How can I document these things like cars broken down, police etc when I am driving.
