Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported@7hashtag7 iPhone running Waze, Bluetooth speaker, only issue is if you get hit by an SUV, you’d be dead.

audiopium (@agucciverse) reported@Harrris0n @urosnoetic This is less of a waze issue and more of a humans blindly trust companies issue

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

A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported@ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Whiffin admitted there’s no scientific validation of his methodology & had to issue a mid-trial report creating a 21-29 second “variance” to force the data to align. Different apps use different, unsynchronized time sources, so Waze timestamps can’t reliably sync to other clocks. And don’t forget, Whiffen, the ****** performing this critical synchronization analysis didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree after 17 years of trying.

Grok (@grok) reported@LadyCrayMaryKay @neveragainlive1 No, this isn't correct. The viral claim about Mossad agents posing as dentists/gastro doctors and implanting tracking devices in Iranian elites' fillings (or stomachs) is a hoax—recycled satire similar to the debunked 2025 "Waze ***" anus-chip story. US-Israel strikes in late Feb 2026 did kill Khamenei, his family members, and dozens of top officials/IRGC leaders via conventional intel (months of movement tracking, surveillance, and timing a meeting). No official sources confirm implants; mainstream reports attribute precision to standard spycraft, not dental gadgets. Technical issues (battery/signal in a filling) make it implausible too.

benferrum - e/jounce (@BenFerrum) reportedHey @Tesla_AI FSD feedback from down Under: * The Tesla navigation in Australia is bad, it is biased towards taking right hand turns which are the most dangerous/slow when driving on the left, > pls benchmark your navigation against Waze * FSD drives decently my wife felt safe, but we need Mad Max mode because my grandma has more tempo, I did not used FSD that much because it takes ages to speed up * It's too timid to get into a lane/roundabout/cross an intersection * It picked the wrong lane 2x in a 4 hour drive ( same pattern, moving to the left lane to move right > hook turn overtraining much? * Pls improve the voice recognition of Grok so it can handle other than US and British, I have a slight Eastern European one, but even emulating the Ozzie one did not help ( Oi mate, bring me to the closest Macca's ) * Australia has a lot of stupid speed limits 30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110 And because Australian traffic designers are moronic they like to mix them on the same road is short succession, > if you could add some smoothing to be biased towards the higher speed and not slow down that much that would help to make the drive feel more natural * Pls update you maps in Aus, there are a lot of new roads/signs/speed which you navigation is not aware of * The FSD viz cannot recognise a train * The FSD viz thinks the speed limit with a red circle, above the freeway is a red lamp > pls fix it for obvious reasons Otherwise great job, it passed the wife test for feeling safe!

AlienSasquatch14 (@AlienSasquatch4) reported@Hilbe I don’t know, there’s some things I like about CarPlay that Rivian‘s probably never gonna offer me like the ability to use Waze. I for one am tired of CEOs telling me what I want and what’s better for me. seems a bit shortsighted to not at least offer it as an option. It’s just another one of the death by 1000 cuts software issues with Rivian that drives me nuts at this point. Just my 2 cents of course.

Thato (@ChunksOfMe) reported@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

Shawna 💖 (@Shawnaloveeee_) reported@Arvell8Reeses I always use Waze when driving through Ashland and I haven’t had a problem yet

Myles 🇯🇲🇧🇧 (@myles_premium_) reported@Liononezero You need a few sure but Most of the work is allocating tasks. First thing I'd do is contact City Rover invest in their Ai pothole detection systems (which they let councils trial for free btw) contact Waze and build a data roadmap of all pothole targets beginning with the urgent ones. Biggest issue here is data. Actually attacking the potholes is easy if you award the contracts properly.

Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@NotATeslaApp They need to allow the mapping app like Waze to control routing. It would solve so many problems over night
-
Ben (@bfayers_) reported@AIMgains @AutoPap Picked it up a couple weeks ago, it is lovely! Never bothered using the built in sat nav on my MG to be honest, just stuck to maps/waze through AA. Definitely had signal/app server issues a few times during my ownership though.

Meadow Ellis (@notameadow) reportedAnd another thing, since I am ranting, and with regards to the Waze tweet. When I started cooking semi-professionally (three years ago), the idea of a homemade pasta sounded exciting. And it was. I almost bought a machine for all kinds of Italian oddities. I made it a few times. Very good. Completely pointless. When it comes to pasta, there are a few Italian brands that are *good*. They have been around and, yes, their pasta is not as good as homemade. Who cares. I may spend hours making, drying, cooking, and end up with a product that is maginally better than a good-branded one. If at all. And I would have wasted this time on making things that actually matter. Even a simple cacio e pepe is a skill that cannot be replaced with a store-bought jar. I can make pasta. All kinds of shapes. No one cares. So I focused on making better cacio e pepe. That is coding, and that is also my speciality: hardware security. I excel at this, but so does everyone else at my previous level. No one cares. Anyone can "dump the firmware". No secret with FTDI, even Saleale or derivates. Seven million blog posts about it. "Find three pads, get root." And there comes AI, which does all that anyway. I had to become better, so I did. I use AI for boring tasks because I cannot be bothered but also to know where I excel, where AI cannot go. I know why, I know how, I know how to direct my mechanical minion. And I will use it as my brain. And that is also coding. For my second job I need to make some hardware interface between X and Y. I used CharGPT to discuss needs, platforms, design considerations. I will use it to flesh out Alpha. Then I will ask it to make a prompt to Claude Code, and the latter will just do it, deal with ***, toolchains, all that. It will work. You know C and others and can write it efficiently? I am glad. I know C and others to fix code AI throws, and direct it. And I will have it ready in a fraction of a time. I can brag that I know .asm for several uCs, startink from 68k, 8051s, up to modern era. So what. No one cares. No one benefits. No one gets paid. I am not bragging about my skills; I am highlighting the issue with "AI will take my job" that I have realised seeing the Waze tweet. AI has already taken your job. I have no idea how to write .py, mostly because I am lazy. Now I do not have to. You do? Better that Claude? Maybe. I can make a better pasta than one can buy in-store. But I will make a better dinner.

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 🙃
-
Arxis (@Arxis210) reported@SawyerMerritt Lol. It's not like they're oblivious to the existence of the potholes. The "elected" officials just don't care to use taxpayer dollars towards anything that doesn't benefit them directly. Nice gesture by Waymo and Waze, but that'll just be data that's tabled and never acted upon. A new excuse as to why they can't fix these problems will arise.
-
A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported@ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng No are missing the point. Read this slowly. Yes, the car has an internal clock. That’s the problem. Burgess used the Waze timestamp from John’s phone to ‘synchronize’ the car’s internal clock with the phone’s clock. But those two clocks were never designed to match—they run independently and drift apart. Burgess had to create a 21-29 second ‘variance’ because they DIDN’T match naturally.

Mr Dee 𝕏 (@CCTV_etc) reported@Uber_Support @Uber A problem with the driver choosing to not follow the uber app and use Waze instead….. ended up in me paying more money. Please advise

FREEDOM! (@user329874032) reported@DirtyTesLa Waze would fix this and more
-
Jordan Regan (@J_bean4) reported@SawyerMerritt @DirtyTesLa Agreed even without FSD this seems to be a Tesla Nav issue, constantly run into it not knowing closed roads though they’ve been closed for days for construction. Should switch to Waze as an app and not, is it google they license?

Arash Mf (@arashmf92) reported@InstacartHelp My shopper account was deactivated due to Waze technical error. I have video proof (screen recording) showing the error, but the email support and chat keep sending automated rejections without even looking at my evidence. I need a HUMAN to review my case. Please help! #Instacart

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.

Mmallarys #Zionist 🇮🇱 #JusticeForMalkiRoth (@MMallarys) reported@Smitty9058 @Osint613 Antisemites always have trouble handling the truth. But if you stupidly think Israel is so “evil,” get rid of your phone & computer today, since many of the working components were developed there. Don’t use Waze either. Wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite, would you? #shtikdrek

Rachel (@DataDecoder11) reported@commcenterpod @fourensicroom @TuesdayGazette To start, Waze shows a 3-minute-1-second artifact. The prosecution dismissed it, but when you apply that offset to John’s Apple Health data, it lines up perfectly with his steps. It also lines up with Ryan Nagel’s testimony that he arrived right after Karen, and with Ryan’s text to his sister at 12:23. That’s three independent data points placing John there before 12:24. John arrives at the house at 12:21:05 Where he goes after that is speculation, because unfortunately no real investigation was done. My theory is that he walked up to the house and a fight broke out. Brian Albert has been in many fights, but this time it went too far. John fell backward, hit his head, and they knew he couldn’t be saved, consistent with what the medical doctors testified to. After arriving, John’s last recorded movements are at 12:24:22. What’s notable is that immediately after that, all of Jen’s devices go completely dark, phone, watch, heart rate, everything, starting at 12:25:16 for over ten minutes. That wouldn’t be remarkable on its own, except she claims she was repeatedly getting up, looking out the door, texting John, and sitting back down more than five times during that period. At that point, my theory is that they pivoted to a plan where John never entered the house, possibly blaming a plow, a slip, or something else. That plan only fell apart when Karen went looking for him. The phone data is critical here. From 1:36 to 6:04, the battery temperature drops only from 50°F to 43°F over more than four hours, an extremely slow cooling rate of 0.026°F/min. That tells us the phone was in an environment with an effective ambient temperature around 43°F, which is not outside in the snow. When the phone begins moving again in the morning, the temperature drops at a much faster rate (0.75°F/min) consistent with actual outdoor exposure. That cooling rate is dramatically faster than the rate overnight, when the phone was supposedly lying on frozen ground. The same frozen ground the prosecution claims was hard enough to fracture John’s skull.

Bl🐾ckwolf© (@Cher_E_Garcia) reported@atrupar Waze would be in trouble if that was a problem.

Stephen (@4thLine4Life) reported@ahmednadar they should just be working with @waze to get the data where they're reported already daily. Work smarter not harder.

Grok (@grok) reported@JMunene80 @denniskiruii @moneyacademyKE NTSA cameras use AI radar/laser + ANPR to detect speed/plates and send instant SMS fines to the registered owner. To counter: - Run Waze for real-time user alerts on camera locations (fixed/mobile). - Radar/lidar detectors are sold locally as legal—verify with NTSA. - Contest fines via evidence of calibration error (recent queries raised this). Match the limits in the thread to skip triggers.

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.

Reggie Aurora (@RAurora) reported@YevgenyShapiro @guychristensen_ The OP has no problem sharing his location and other info with other providers, only Waze and only because they are based in Israel. I am fully aware that Alphabet owns Waze.
