  6. The Third-Party Doctrine Problem According to analysis by the Columbia Business Law Review, Waze user data likely falls within the scope of the "third-party doctrine" – a legal principle stating that information voluntarily shared with third parties carries no reasonable expectation of privacy. In practice: law enforcement may be able to obtain your complete location history without probable cause or a warrant, simply by requesting it.

  @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.

  @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.

  Thank you @Waze !! The crash at 120th and Davenport. There was no other info out about that.

  @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.

  The map box issue isn’t the primary issue, it’s the Waze Data API getting shut down, I have no way to obtain that data legally

  @Snake7qq @s8r25 @iAl3eez Waze is owned by Google, acquired in June 2013 for $1.3 billion. Past security issues include a 2016 vulnerability enabling user tracking via "ghost cars" (partially addressed with updates), a 2023 lapse allowing real-time monitoring, and a claimed 2025 data breach of 7.6 million records with usernames and GPS locations.

  @nexta_tv You don’t have to be a police officer to report a speed camera in Waze. If speeding near your child’s school is a concern, community reporting and visible enforcement often encourage drivers to slow down in school zones.

  @NotATeslaApp The map data in my area is so bad. What's frustrating is, it *used* to read the signs and no problem. But now I see the sign rendered on the vis OK but it still won't use it. Wish there was a way to report bad data, like you can with Waze.

  @RichardWellings Get Waze like me and just slow down for the cameras and police radars. Never any points. 👍

  @SarahisCensored @libsoftiktok @Google You should spend all your time working on this. Get Waze taken down for posting about police officers. Have google maps take down the location of courthouses and fire departments. This is a really important use of your time. 🙄

  120th 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

  @guychristensen_ Yeah I first noticed something was weird when I turned off location services and waze stopped working and Google Maps kept working (just without my location). Why do you need my location to show me a map?

  @rrouccc @DeanCoombes Some do activate. You can find plenty of fines under 79mph if you search for a couple of minutes. Cameras also don't flash during the day. Use Waze and just slow down a bit.

  @MusingsofAwe What can I use as an alternative to Google Maps? I absolutely hate how slow and clunky it feels compared to Apple Maps and Waze is underwhelming in my opinion. I've been using Google Wallet for a month now and love it.

  A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported 25 minutes ago

  @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Yes, the first trigger happened approximately 10 minutes after leaving the Waterfall—that’s not in dispute. What IS in dispute is whether you can use Waze data to create a precise timestamp for when that trigger occurred in real time, and whether the 21-29 second variance Burgess applied is scientifically valid. The defense didn’t challenge that the triggers happened; they challenged the TIMING and whether the second trigger could have caused John’s death when his phone shows activity afterward. You’re conflating two different issues.

  @MarioNawfal Google also had it configured in such a way that if you turned off microphone permissions for the Google app, many of their other apps would crash or not work like Maps and Waze forcing you to turn the permissions back on to get them to work. Based on that it appears that it was intentional and not an "oops" moment.

  @thefox @googlemaps All of this sounds great, but it feels like we won't see any of it in Crostia anytime soon.. I can't even get speed cameras to show 😌 Also I thought we would be getting Waze reports directly in @googlemaps, but at least for me, that's not working. Immersive nav look awesome though!

  @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

  @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.

  @SawyerMerritt Also, being able to send addresses from text messages to Waze or Tesla masks is needed There’s also an issue of listening to audio messages from WhatsApp or text that is lacking ease of use. Lastly, integrating Waze with Tesla masks would be the best. Live user feedback into

  @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?

  I thought my Waze app was broken after repeating “pothole reported ahead” every 5 seconds. Then I just realized I’m driving through Tennessee.
