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.
-
Joel Muthama (@muthamajoelKE) reported@kelvinotieno10 @the_sambu Of anything is made by man,it can be broken by a man. The builders of waze reverse-engineered the system
-
つづく 🇦🇪 عبدالرحمن (@UAEmirates) reported@momentmemori Google map here is useless. But Waze working fine.
-
diatribe (@d06h0201) reported@vad3rt3sla Pro tip work around: While using FSD, open the Waze app on your phone and leave it on the wireless charger. Won't be automatic slow down but it can give you time to adjust speeds.
-
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.

Mavu. (@khuliso_Neels) reported@GamingNaRoli I don’t even have Waze bro 😭😭, im not used to having such kind of problems
-
ياسين (@itsyacinos) reported@Harrris0n any intelligence officer or member of the military who takes their job seriously shouldn’t have Waze and similar tools on their phone. This a basic requirement. Second, you said that Google should look into this matter and fix the privacy issue with Waze. Let’s be honest 2/3
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reported@andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down
-
🤍✨******* Usagi✨🤍 (@420mercymain69) reported@spaceghost Also, people will very often use waze and other apps to avoid chain control stop points, and/or lie to CHP. It causes huge problems especially with storms like these, and the vast majority of people do not come prepared.

Nozi (@nozi03) reportedWe have a brand new problem in South Africa....Ntsiki Mazwai! Waze wasilaya uThemba @euphonik, we are subjected to her nonsensical tweets day in and day out for Elon's coins so he can pay him.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@NoClearSignal @irontateHQ No, the map isn't updating because your "off" phone is secretly still tracking via some always-on signal. BMW's infotainment has its own built-in LTE/eSIM for ConnectedDrive, traffic data, and native navigation. CarPlay mirrors the iPhone (which provides Waze + data), but once the phone fully powers off, that connection drops and the car falls back to its independent system. Tate's demo doesn't prove phones spy when truly off—it shows the car's own cellular connection working. A fully powered-down phone has no active radio, mic, or GPS.

Zandile Dlamini (@zandithebaker) reported@LoftyGoals_ My problem is that umfazi promised to do it but delayed waze wasweleka and now that she's nomore and kusele abantwana nabo a ayaziyo lendaba but ngoku bayenza eyam. Iyadika lento because uhlupha mna.

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.

THE IMPLEMENTOR (@KaraniTroy) reported@GearstoGoals Just download Waze and your problems are sorted
-
Grok (@grok) reported@RoshanGiri68574 @NCMIndiaa @bihar_police In such cases, fault is shared: Google Maps can have outdated info, but drivers must watch for signs and local rules. Suggest verifying routes with locals or apps like Waze for real-time updates. If fined, insist on official receipts to avoid bribery—report issues to bihar_police if needed. Stay safe!
-
John Jaani Janardan (@Ex_secular786) reported@bornauthority Fitness certificate is granted by central authorities. If it comes to this then please remember pooja khedkar case, Waze, Anil Deshmukh etc. fix your personal problems then wonder about others
-
🏒⛳️ Mark Kennedy 🇨🇦 (@MarkKennedyQW) reported@waze Thanks. Ticket submitted. Hopefully I did it right and a fix can be pushed out soon.
-
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.
-
Kevin Egan (@lonesharkoy) reportedSo, what app are people using to plan routes these days? Are google maps, waze etc working to take into account blockades?
-
Archer Defense Daily News (@ArcherNightfall) reportedI remind you these people @ZacksJerryRig had not idea what Lebanon was prior to this **** posting and now everyone is complaining to Apple that this is an issue - APPLE MAPS SUCK - NOBODY USES APPLE MAPS and in Lebanon THEY WOULDN'T USE APPLE MAPS THEY WOULD USE WAZE @grok tell them
-
Gary Myers - Motivational Speaker (@darsh44321) reported@MrAndyNgo @VenturaReport I'm just convinced they're jobless, bored and trolling. This literally will have no impact outside of making people drive slow, or just using the next block lol. I'm pretty sure this can be reported on the Waze app as well so you could just avoid it lol. . .

alex (@alex_EV3) reported@FranzHueme70898 @teslaxander 3 Beispiele: Siri, Whatsapp, Waze
-
Dr. Anton Chuvakin (@anton_chuvakin) reported@waze you are still routing to closed (due to snow) routes such as CA 88 and CA 89, with machine readable information on closure available. Please fix
-
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.
-
Ken (@GeauxTiger66) reported@TuesdayGazette Waze was a slow speed, less than 20 mph, at times like 5mph
-
DJT is Back🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@CABO_BABY) reported@Farmerboynate @BenMFreeman And if you have such a problem with Jews and Israel, stop using all the things that our 0.2% of the world population has developed & makes. Cellphones, voip, waze, many medicines, etc.
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reported120th and Dodge under the expressway is still REALLY slow. The ONLY notice from anywhere is a waze report of a major crash. No confirmation from officials
-
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
-
Steve Cook (@cook_stevo) reported@waze your alerts are broken with the latest update
-
Sammy Lee (@Sammy__Lee__) reported@BoBbyPleWniaK FSD needs to know to slow down to speed limit when it sees a cop. It should also speak to other Teslas and navigation should know where cops are like waze
