  @TheLaluka @waze @gouvernementFR I suspect if you were asking in the US they'd want nothing to do with it for liability reasons, no idea if there would be similar issues in France

  @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.

  @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 “except clause” 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.

  I ABSOLUTELY hate when I put @waze on sleep mode and it comes back on on its own. I don’t want to drive through familiar areas with Waze running in the background. The app shouldn’t run unless I turn it on. Fix it because I’m close to deleting it!!!

  @Suzybeau1 @WBergeson11310 @BostonDefender I'm saying you can't compare Life360 with Waze because Waze has better service, just like Verizon and AT&T have better service than U.S. Cellular and don't have the dropped-call problems and don't have the infrastructure the major networks have.

  @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

  Part 1: 21 one year old Jason Landry disappeared while driving home from college in December 2020. Jason was a student at Texas State University in San Marcos. On the night of December 13th, he left his apartment shortly before 11 p.m. and began driving toward Missouri City, where his parents lived. He was planning to spend time with friends during the Christmas break. His family wasn’t expecting him that night. Phone data showed Jason traveling south through Luling. At around 11:26 p.m., his phone stopped connecting to the Waze navigation app near the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Austin Street. Investigators believe he continued straight instead of following the main road and entered Salt Flat Road, an isolate gravel road outside town. Jason apparently lost control of his Nissan Altima and crashed through a fence before striking trees. Authorities concluded that it was a single-car accident and found no evidence that another vehicle caused the crash. At 12:31 a.m. on December 14th, a volunteer firefighter discovered the wrecked car. Its headlights were still on and the keys remained in the ignition. Jason was nowhere nearby. His phone was later found wedged between the driver’s seat and the centre console. The initial response created problems for the investigation. A state trooper inspected the scene, arranged for the car to be towed and removed ********* from Jason’s backpack. However, Jason’s clothing and several belongings were left along the road, and no immediate search for a missing driver was launched. Jason’s father, Kent Landry, learned about the crash and reached the area around dawn. After finding Jason’s phone inside the impounded car, Kent returned to Salt Flat Road. Roughly 900 feet from the crash, he found his son’s shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, shoes and watch scattered along the roadway. A small blood smear was found on the clothing, but investigators said it did not suggest a serious injury. There was no blood inside the car. They believe Jason may have received a minor cut while climbing out through the damaged fence or surrounding vegetation.

  What is it with #Tesla’s navigation system? Why does it send me to the middle of nowhere most of the time? And why does one have to resort to Waze to get out of trouble? Elon do better please!

  @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.

  InOneScoop (@InOneScoop) reported 31 minutes ago

  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

  @SurScribbles It has problems integrating with many cars (believe, I feel like I always seem to rent them in my travels), I don’t think adding more stuff to the Tesla UI is the answer. Plus, my phone is always with me. I have access to all of the stuff CarPlay would carry over. I can stream music directly from my phone, or use Waze (which I do). At the end of the day, CarPlay is meant to bridge the car to its passenger. But with autonomy, none of that is necessary. Ultimately, you’ll be able to use your phone or laptop or anything else in the car. That’s why I think CarPlay is a step backwards. Not forward.

  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).

  If I say I don't use Waze because it's Israeli made then I'm pretentious/too woke/ doing too much. If I say I prefer a different app then it's no problem. I am so tired of the apathy of the world and it being a social sin to give a damn

  @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

  1. Waze the speed trap app that saves you $200+ in tickets per year. The 2026 CarPlay interface for Waze is cleaner than ever, offering crowd-sourced data on speed traps, potholes, and traffic jams without cluttering your digital real estate. Waze is the one CarPlay app every driver should install regardless of whether they use it for navigation. Waze is the go-to CarPlay app for drivers who regularly deal with heavy traffic. Its community-sourced reporting system alerts you to accidents, road hazards, speed traps, and police presence in real time, often before other apps catch up. Real-time alerts from other Waze drivers: police ahead. Speed trap. Red light camera. Construction. Hazard on the road. Car stopped on the shoulder. Object in the road. You're driving 72 in a 65. A Waze alert pops up: "Police reported ahead." You slow to 65. You pass the speed trap. No ticket. The driver behind you without Waze gets pulled over. One avoided speeding ticket: $150-300. One avoided red light camera ticket: $75-150. Waze is free. The math is obvious. Beyond speed traps: Waze frequently finds faster routes than Apple Maps during heavy traffic because its routing algorithm uses real-time data from millions of active drivers, not just historical traffic patterns. If a highway exit is suddenly backed up because of a fender bender reported 3 minutes ago Waze reroutes you before Apple Maps knows it happened.

  @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?
