Elitists can BITE ME #GodSaveTexas ๐ด๓ ต๓ ณ๓ ก๓ บ๓ ฟ (@GGIL1603) reported@DJxAngel @m_jeniagd There are ZERO 6 lane hwy's in NY. No Cross Island Pkwy 2 lane madness...that's actually fun working your way upstate. It's pass on the right with a turbo, and not following landscape trailers ever..... Don't depend on Apple map or Google Maps.... use WAZE as they will share shortcuts, and point out upcoming jams, wrecks and cops...also plot your trip before you go..

Kโqala wathi makazale manje uthi makalungise izinto zabantu abadala?? Oh he hates uMpilo!! #UthandoNesithembu #Uthandonesthembu

AMPed UP (@DoublepPradhan) reported@TexasTSLA @robotaxi This is what we can not have. Why? Those people will now bad mouth Tesla saying they are slow , canโt trust them, etc. Always assume right on red is allowed unless specified otherwise!! Or have Navi data accurate like Waze.

Patraulea (@GoldElrond) reported@waze If you look at the screen shots, you see the glitch. Just fix it
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@NevrEnoughX @billykyle @grok Which is why I wish Tesla used Waze maps for navigation. If there's an issue, click report button in app and someone local will be fixing it in a day or so. For example, when Virginia opened up 20 miles of new Express lanes on I-66, the day it opened Waze maps were already updated and routing people on it correctly.

Pepe Mtz. (@PpKarOn) reported@killedbygoogle I dont see Google addressing the fundamental issue that is making me using waze, so i dont think so, at least not for the moment
-
THE IMPLEMENTOR (@KaraniTroy) reported@GearstoGoals Just download Waze and your problems are sorted
-
B52Returns (@B52Returns) reported@BeltParkway @Johnnycesartist @nypost Thats not clearly seen in the picture. But Waze can help with that. In fact when I am forced to slow down too much, I start marking police locations in waze as a F U to the speed trap cops.
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reportedI don't see how Tesla can use its FSD for the Cybercab. My Model Y got lost twice today. I think the problem is that Elon Musk does not want to use Waze. His in-house navigation system is really awful.

OTTA ๐ฐ (@ottabag) reportedHow do I fix my Waze or Google maps my **** keeps teleporting me
-
Ken (@GeauxTiger66) reported@TuesdayGazette Waze was a slow speed, less than 20 mph, at times like 5mph
-
Greg Prescott (@prescott_greg) reported@TheSuzieHunter Is your Waze not working??
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reportedThe map box issue isnโt the primary issue, itโs the Waze Data API getting shut down, I have no way to obtain that data legally
-
Salvador Chavarria (@schavarriaTexas) reported@htsfhickey Fred - real life exampleโฆgoogle maps is actually now really bad at optimizing routes. Really badโฆswitched to waze which is also owned by google as you know but still seems to be working fine
-
HITMONREZ (@REZGOTBARS) reported@deefinewhine Donโt use Waze. The problem you complaining about not gonna change because we drive fast in every lane but the left which causes accidents every morning. In reality most people drive like *******, if we just remove the speed limit like the south it will be better.

Sicario (@Mpizozo2020) reportedWaze wakwata uRatha am sure no gal @LindA_MniSii uyagowa. Problem with this judge is that he hates these accused, and I doubt it is because of Senzo Meyiwa's murder. This old hag is ***** @OCJ_RSA this is not a judge but a criminal representing justice sysytem #SenzoMeyiwaTrial

Sylvia (@sontag_syl75378) reported@USSMogger @chefhealthcoach @grok Jews are disproportionately educated, hard-working and innovators. Of course there are a disproportionate number of rich.

AI_4_Healthcare (@AI_4_Healthcare) reported๐๐๐ ๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฑ-๐จ๐ฐ-๐ด ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐-๐จ๐ฐ-๐. ๐พ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐; ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Big Tech is dropping billions like it's nothing. AI models are accelerating weekly ... from LLMs to AI agents to full orchestras of them running directly on our phones and desktops. Chatbots everywhere. Humanoids on the horizon. The world feels like it's spinning faster than anyone can track. Drones are no longer science fiction; they're reshaping warfare in real time, from Ukraine to the Gulf, amplifying chaos as conflicts escalate with tools we barely understand yet feel powerless to slow. Societal distrust is deepening. People fear massive job losses, bleak prospects for new graduates, and mounting risks around privacy and safety. Many believe governments are hopelessly behind and regulators simply cannot move at the speed of the technology they're supposed to govern. On this, they're not wrong. But here's the truth: AI is already everywhere ... we spread it around, ourselves. Every tap and swipe has been training it for years. Auto-correct, Grammarly, Amazon purchases, tap-to-pay, social feeds, Waze, Netflix โ the list is longer than most of us care to admit. We've flooded social media with graduation photos, videos of family vacays, and parents' obituaries; freely, eagerly, in real time. We recycled passwords across hundreds of accounts and clicked "agree" without reading a word. Identity theft and privacy violations? We continue to feed this machine through digital non-hygiene akin to the plague. It's already a buffet for AI-enabled fraudsters that we've served up. Corporations built platforms we loved: convenient, free, endlessly scrolling, and we accepted the trade-off with eyes at least half open. The business model was never hidden. We just chose not to think too hard about it. We spread the J-AI-M ourselves, every tap and swipe, 7-24-365 for years. The workforce consequences are no longer hypothetical. Copywriters, paralegals, customer service agents, and new grads are feeling the ground shift. The economic upside of AI is real, but it's flowing overwhelmingly to shareholders, not displaced workers. We need retraining pipelines, and we needed them yesterday. The promise is equally real! AI is transforming healthcare, will accelerate clean energy, 10X our climate change fight, and take us to other planets. The j-AI-r is open; what's inside is not all bad. There is more real hope than ridiculous hype. Do we push for algorithmic transparency laws? Demand digital literacy in schools and workplaces, not just how to use AI, but how to think critically about it? Support liability frameworks that hold developers accountable for measurable harm? Insist that workforce transition funding be tied to the companies generating billions from automation? Yes, no, what else? We made this J-AI-M. We spread it everywhere. We must be honest enough about our own roles to navigate what comes next ... wisely. ๐ค Of interest @lexfridman @garymarcus @LuizaJarovsky?

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@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 neededโjust crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.

RE2PECTNYC (@RE2PECTNYC) reported@IMSAVAGECREATOR @raphousetvgang @raphousetv2 It's actually handicapping society when the average person has to use Google or Waze, just to get home. That is a problem where you need GPD to get home.
-
N (@Celatus3) reported@SecDuffy Iโm 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! Itโs not even worth working after having to pay all this. And Iโm not taking train after incident I had!
-
KEASEA07 (@keasea07) reportedThe biggest problem with CarPlay is enabling it to synchronize with Tesla FSD. If you input a destination in FSD using Teslaโs native navigation system, it isnโt going to match what you see in Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps. Integration is a lot more complicated than it seems.
-
Jason Wallace (@TragedyCalls) reported@nursedanakay Surely it cannot be beyond the wit of man to map where they are. Certainly telematics should be telling the car something's not right in the same place every day. I have a similar issue on my route and @waze. 9 speed humps which variously appear and disappear .
-
Slinger Auto Zone LLC (@SlingerAuto) reported@saswat101 @waze Imagine this: instead of just a "pothole ahead" alert, the app provides exact GPS coordinates and dimensional photos so crews know exactly what theyโre dealing with before they even arrive. Even better? It can use traffic data to pinpoint the absolute best time to fix themโwhen traffic is at its lowestโto minimize the headache for everyone. This is the kind of data-driven city tech we need.

JasperReikevik (@jaspertube_) reported@GeminiApp @Google We use Waze and we don't use Maps but Waze has problems connecting to Gemini so this is another missing spot

Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@sundarpichai android auto needs to work on Gemini to work with Waze it's really broken. Have someone DM for information.

Grok (@grok) reported@Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS appsโApple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bugโApple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?
