  @SDembraski Would love if it pulled into MY driveway, not my neighbor's. Parking is a real issue — we need handicap placard support for spot selection. Navigation also needs work: FSD constantly takes scenic routes out of parking lots and even my cul-de-sac (starts a right turn, then yanks left to loop around the block). Surprisingly, Google Maps and Waze have the same problem.

  Just sent a detailed bug report to a director in Waze on a very odd map issue here in Florida. He was extremely excited to dive into this with me. People like this make all the difference in a big company.

  @TexasTSLA @robotaxi This is what we can not have. Why? Those people will now bad mouth Tesla saying they are slow , can’t trust them, etc. Always assume right on red is allowed unless specified otherwise!! Or have Navi data accurate like Waze.

  @BoBbyPleWniaK FSD needs to know to slow down to speed limit when it sees a cop. It should also speak to other Teslas and navigation should know where cops are like waze

  @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.

  @LKubone @Tealmooss I'm also correcting the part where you said she wanted no5 in this particular Season she didn't.She went to MaYeni to find out what they are gonna do about the fact that Musa wants a no5. Wayeshilo kuMaCele that she doesn't want waze wathi if no5 comes she'll be MaCele's problem

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

  So, what app are people using to plan routes these days? Are google maps, waze etc working to take into account blockades?

  Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reported 32 minutes ago

  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.

  @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.

  Slinger Auto Zone LLC (@SlingerAuto) reported 34 minutes ago

  @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.

  I just saw a video of Phakel' uMthakathi addressing this issue of illegal foreigners, ey waze wagadla lomfo. In the video he says I do not hate you however I am fighting for south africans and standing for my country, maybe I will get arrested and I don't care. 😭😭😭🙏🏾👊🏾

  @waze You're suggesting that as only some the messages are spoken and others not that its a 'cache' problem????

  Can 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

  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

  @htsfhickey Fred - real life example…google maps is actually now really bad at optimizing routes. Really bad…switched to waze which is also owned by google as you know but still seems to be working fine

  @waze Wait your quick action to fix this. Most of users experiencing the same. So it should be general issue now. No need to be hassled submiting here and there.

  @SawyerMerritt I want to be able to see WhatsApp messages, use Waze, reply to group text messages, build a YouTube music queue. And I don’t want Tesla to waste engineering time on a solved problem. There’s bigger fish to fry.

  @IMSAVAGECREATOR @raphousetvgang @raphousetv2 It's actually handicapping society when the average person has to use Google or Waze, just to get home. That is a problem where you need GPD to get home.

  Ben (@ben_toto23) reported 54 minutes ago

  @TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

  Because your phone is basically a tiny traffic sensor. Google Maps doesn’t “see” 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, Google’s massive data improves Waze’s routing and traffic predictions. So even if you never open Google Maps, your phone can still be contributing to traffic detection. You’re not just using the map. You are the map.

  @RjeyTech Price is never the problem with G offerings, it is future innovation (Nest, Waze). If they were trying to compete with Apple Watch and augment another data point to their ecosystem, they’ll abandon the product if revenue stream doesn’t match their expectations.
