-
GUYER (@reyuglatig6pge) reported@LarryBrockJr Can anyone provide a map of the flock cameras in the Portland metro area? What about Waze? Is this another issue too tied to flock?
-
Vic Romano (@GenoakPod) reported@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.
-
Rahul Sood 🏴☠️ (@rahulsood) reported@wholemars I've got two tickets on FSD.. it's annoying.. Tesla should build in radar detector/waze style police awareness and slow down.
-
MB (@paxangloceltae) reported@TomWright165389 Waze died on us within about 20 mins of leaving the M25 for the M1. Google Maps also screwed. Apple Maps remarkably seems to be working even on 1 bar of 5G - and even when the phones go onto SOS or satellite mode. Still, ridiculous that reception is so poor.

Rob Conquistador (@RobConquistador) reported@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.

Definitely Not Allen Covert (@Covert61) reportedIf there is a huge traffic jam and WAZE shows me a different route that can save me time is Waze ignoring my issue and telling me to shut up or is it offering a temporary solution to my immediate problem?
-
Wayne Kennedy (@lilwaynekennedy) reported@401_da_sarpanch This is the exact thing I've been saying. These ******* clowns don't speak English, have no idea where they are going and will cross five lanes of traffic last minute to hit an exit because their Waze is slow. I've seen mother ******* backing up on DVP exits. @OPP_HSD
-
404prophet (@lightscaner) reported@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.

Ahmedkhan (@Ahmed___khaan) reportedBecause 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.

john Xanax lynch (@burnerversity) reported@waze fix the ******* wait times nothing has been accurate
-
matt kalita (@mattkalita) reported@PatsKam Both of the mapping software that most people use Apple or Google maps even Waze, which is now Google anyways use the data from the phones so if a bunch of phones are sitting over a GPS location of a highway they’ll put that red as in stop traffic if it’s slow slowly moving from point a to point B they’ll color yellow and if it’s flowing, they’ll color it the green or blue whatever you have set It’s all based upon your phone data location And everyone else’s phone data location on the roadways

alana(ca sawyer) (@paciorettys) reportedi complained about this in a reddit convo i was having and someone tried to argue that drivers use waze to avoid traffic? even after i'd given multiple examples of drivers not understanding me saying "just turn on broadway instead" it's such a problem i hate it
-
crazy people out there (@ron_doingstuff) reported@congressdj @Spencer10438140 I was trying to get waze working, so at least it would alert me. I was having issues with waze bluetooth talking over the tesla audio. I could not hear both at the same time. Grok said there was some browser version of tesla waze. Too busy to figure this out so far :)
-
blair’s beeper (@blairsbeeper) reportedWHY ******** ARE YOU WORKING WITH ISRAEL YOU ******* SELLOUT FAKE *** AMERICAN COMPANY @waze ******* GET THOSE DEMONS OFF YOUR ******* CONTRACT NOW
-
william acevedo (@william74783332) reportedThe old Waze fail because there’s no restrictions on the billions of dollars if you have a restriction point it at this money will be used for homelessness. That’s a restriction no restriction they do whatever they want with it. That’s the problem. Federal funding a restriction
-
Big Belly (@_ImJustTy) reportedThe @waze app has become a PAIN in my *** over these past few months. At first I thought it may have been a CarPlay issue or due to my data, but it’s not! It doesn’t update in a timely fashion like it used to and I end up having to bust a u turn because I’ve gone the wrong way
-
Bobby Boulders (@ItsBig_Earl) reported@SnooCompliments You guys seem to put a lot of faith into John’s Waze app and a correlation of time done by a guy who has been pursuing a 4 year degree for 18+ years…What exactly is the issue here? Trust the data right? Except when it implicates the house defendants….then it’s obviously just wrong.
-
Ray, Babysitter of Chaos রশ্মি (@TheRealStanRay) reportedWow you’re slow. It’s based on Spiderman sightings. People input it like reporting a road block or car on the side of the road on Waze.

D. Beck (@DBeck57030037) reported@drdrea1327 @mv010101 @GretchenVoss64 ●Broken TL. ●Pieces in John's clothing. ●Pieces at scene. ● #KarenRead statements, VMs, & texts. ●Scratches on John's arm. ●Broken bar glass. ●Techstream data. ●GPS, Apple Health, Waze. ●John's hair & DNA on back of her car. And I've probably missed a few items.

Edgars Zīverts (@edziverts) reported@ChinaEV_Eng_Lif Try coming to Eastern Europe; Tesla cannot fix its maps for 2+ years. Waze really is the gold standard; too bad there is no native app.
-
Kool Aid Man (@koolaidman60833) reported@OnlyInBOS Problem isn’t Waze doesn’t differentiate vehicle size so the Lemmings follow it blindly
-
Bryce Tackett (@BryceTackett4) reported@TinkerTYJ @OmariYeager @waze Drove about 500 miles today, app is not working correctly didn’t get a single update of anything
-
Dr Prakash Nayak (@SRIPRAKASH76) reportedWe had major problem following Waze directions traveling from London to Folkestone . Near or around Maidstone there was some road blocks. Waze kept sending us in circles repeatedly asking to take closed roads. It was getting dark. Stopped to download TomTom. @waze
-
Nigel Poncewattle (@poncewattle) reported@oi8achevy @diaper @TeslaKing420 Also hate to say this, but Tesla does not use Waze nor Google for speed limit data so it won't fix THAT problem.

paperwork nota (@icecoldbanger) reported@WormWoodMotorCO same issue @waze what’s happening ???

Mr. Zombie Reagan-We will survive. Am Yisrael Chai (@tattooedsaint1) reported@jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?
-
Njoroge (@Joe_AlexN) reported@NdemoKelvin I agree, the problem is that those clowns are always on the move. It's like they're also using Waze bana. You report them, they move afew kilometers ahead.

Brusimm.com (@Brusimm) reportedDear #Waze, wtf is your problem today, telling me to take the long way home. The way I've never taken, while my usual, shorter route was just fine??? I remember when waze was the better option. And now... ? SMH.
