  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.

  @JohnWilliamFau2 @DixieNormu95224 @MafiaMasshole That’s not accurate. Burgess didn’t “discover nothing.” He used multiple independent data sources, vehicle telemetry, odometer readings, power cycle data, Ring and bar surveillance footage, Waze data from John O’Keefe’s phone, and the three-point turn, to align timing across systems and refine the vehicle timeline. Both sides’ experts were present when the SD card was retrieved, and the process was documented with photographs as outlined in Burgess’s report. The SD card and related modules are in evidence as part of the case record. DiSogra was not asked by the defense to conduct independent testing or produce his own report. Instead, he was retained to review the Commonwealth’s existing reports and opinions. He would have seen the images the experts took of the SD card in the report. He also acknowledged that based on the labeling in the report, he made an inference about what a chart meant, which the prosecution clarified was referencing a slightly different dataset. His opinion is based on reviewing existing materials, not independent forensic reconstruction. The defense did not make any argument that the 74.5% reverse event didn’t happen. Their position is about timing, suggesting the possibility that John locked his phone seconds before or after the reverse maneuver. That is a timing interpretation, not a denial of the vehicle data itself. John O’Keefe’s DNA was found on the back right taillight housing, his clothing, and a cocktail glass. Hair consistent with the victim was also recovered from the bumper. Debris collected from his shirt and sweatshirt included tiny fragments of clear and red plastic, with threads from his clothing embedded in some of the shards. Welcher also testified that an arm impact could be consistent with taillight damage if the vehicle was traveling over roughly 8 mph, and the TechStream data shows speeds up to 24 mph in reverse during the trigger event. You can argue interpretation, but it’s not accurate to say there’s no SD card integrity, no chain of custody, or no supporting physical or digital evidence. That’s not what the record reflects. The defense did not produce an expert to refute the reverse maneuver. I am also done with the gish gallop questioning. One issue at a time, not a rambling stream of consciousness of your "guesses."

  @ClimateWarrior7 I just drive at normal speeds and slow down for the cameras. Use Waze and even alerts you to police mobile cameras. Never any points.

  @JackLinFLL Just to check if it was working I used @waze to remind me if my attaché case was in the back seat.

  @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!

  @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

  @TeslaJuniperDriver (@JuniperDriver) reported 31 minutes ago

  @MetaverseGamma @diaper You would think, Waze has no issue with it but Mapbox apparently does. If FSD doesn’t see a speed change sign, the majority of the time it won’t change

  @SQZA55 @KIRO7Seattle Not when the boarding pass is activated. We have been working with GPS apps, but so far only Waze has changed their routing.

  @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.

  i 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

  @phibetakitten Don’t get me wrong. It will reach the closed road and detour just fine. The problem was that so many roads were closed, it kept mapping to the closed roads and then doing detours. It was almost endless at one point. Using Waze I was able to navigate it in 1/10 the time

  @Suzybeau1 @Martine05885145 The WiFi login time came from Karen’s phone. Guarino’s testimony. Uncontested. The GPS data can be wrong within its stated error range, which was very small while Waze was activated.

  @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?

  @jay26440083 @perryodontology nothing is wrong with using waze the app has a reporting feature that helps editors to fix routing issues. so unless someone reports it then it wont get fixed

  @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.

  @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

  The @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
