Michael Hernandez (@capturehappy) reportedDid you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Uncle Phil (@jsin215) reported@SysopRon @MattWallaceTech My issue isn't the way fsd drives it's that all tesla navigation has problems and isn't not as good as waze. I'd have the same issue with uber driver app nav
-
Salina Mendoza (@inababi) reportedIt’s really dumb that we don’t have a “I don’t want to take the freeway” option on maps products. This is needed @waze @googlemaps Constantly getting the dumbest routes wasting time and actively putting me in MORE traffic. This algo is broken.
-
Kenneth Charles (@KenMCharles) reported@Teslarati Honestly, not a fan of Waze. Used it on a rental w/Android Auto(AA) and got fed up w/the stale traffic reports and AA not always working when I started the car so I could drive to a destination where I needed directions.
-
Bee (@Ayebeeeyo) reportedHey @waze can you fix the bug where the big red blob is going across Apple car play screens? It’s extremely distracting 🙃
-
Jen (@LegalMindedGiGi) reported@Dan_Donovan_17 @factsdontlie10 I believe the Waze time issue was discussed in first trial.
-
Slinger Auto Zone LLC (@SlingerAuto) reported@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.
-
THE IMPLEMENTOR (@KaraniTroy) reported@GearstoGoals Just download Waze and your problems are sorted
-
Sully (@sully_no10) reported@shelinaaktar12 I have waze so I been speeding but everyone drives so SLOW
-
AMPed UP (@DoublepPradhan) reported@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.
-
N (@Celatus3) reported@SecDuffy I’m so infuriated with congestion pricing! It feels so violating between Waze sending you through zone when you can easily avoid it to feeling completely exploited! It’s not even worth working after having to pay all this. And I’m not taking train after incident I had!

ᑎᗪIᒪᗩ ᗰIYᗩ SOTONDOSHE (@Ndila_001) reportedI 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. 😭😭😭🙏🏾👊🏾

Asenathi P. (@PAsenathi) reported@azolagodlimpi2 @Zoemkoena why are you lying be she had a problem with that waze wathi wenziwa islima
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reported@chutneylife I find the FSD drives better than I do, but that the navigation system sometimes fails. The car takes the wrong turn or gets lost. That is confusing, since Waze and others solved the navigation issue years ago.

UseURStrengths (@UseURstrengths) reported@juliecbarrett @kneis816 Honestly, there are no “platforms” now that have privacy. If we are on someone’s server they have data. If you use a mobile phone, take digital pictures and store in “the cloud”, drive a car and use Car Play/Google Maps/Waze - by 2027 your car will assess biometrics, use Siri et al, use social media with backdoors tracking social “reputation”, given facial recognition or fingerprints for digital access, received that code to login to your mobile phone establishing “usual location” and “usual device”, have home “security cams”, Amazon, use email (which has your work data/attachments/anything you’ve ever composed, SMART tvs-watches-appliances…and so on. The name of the game is our DATA and all Of those data centers have to centralize it all to form a digital ID for each of us before digital currency can be introduced. Then they have it all. We have no privacy…we have given it away step-by-step for “our own protections and security.” 🙄 Agenda 2030+ is well on the way to reality.

Joe Robinson (@Joethedog4109) reported@lunarleahhhhh You can’t have it both Waze boys…. Either quick protesting when they do get violent criminals, or when they are released at the border, they can cause problems here on the interior.
-
BlahajStealer (@BlahajStealer) reported@iHateApplee @appltrack lmao just saying its the norm, surprised apple hasnt started sooner. Free platforms usually end up with ads sooner or later. i brought up the biggest map example but waze also has ads, im not sure why you have a problem with apple when they do something but anyone else is a saint
-
David (@ChildishBohmbno) reported@MaryKayCabot @Flash_Garrett you should start using @waze so you can see where the cops are hiding and slow down before getting pulled over.
-
Ian McGinley (@parawolf) reported@JackTheAss_ @TrungTPhan Just where I am in Australia the high traffic or incident data or other issues just don’t reflect in the app like they do for google maps or waze. Just doesn’t have quality penetration here I feel.
-
Baylee (@bb50028) reported@Flighty @ALewin Would be cool if it is like Waze, were we can report ourselves the wait times or slow lines

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

Maqhawe Simelane (@Buqhawe) reported@zizipho50 Waze wayisilima we Oros, working with other countries is what we need, illegal immigrants must go back home and fix their papers.

Matthew Stevenson (@ENTP_Innovator) reported@bcasale @itskyleconner Can you not report the error in Apple maps? I do it in Waze and Google Maps.
-
OKWUDILI 🇳🇬🏴 (@philip_Bawer) reported@AsidanyaMiracle Stop using Google map, it will take you straight into problem rather use Waze. It will find all the nearest and hassle free route for you.

Jonathan Mills (@ICommunityNote) reported@DillonLoomis @butala_aryan Can they just partner with Waze and fix everything overnight? That would be good.
