  Wow 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.

  Capxel Security (@capxel_security) reported 11 minutes ago

  Breach notices passed last year's total in the first half of 2026. That is not a louder alarm. It is a new instrument panel. When Waze made every driver a traffic sensor, roads changed. AI is doing the same to attack surfaces. Security teams need telemetry that sees the road, not just the crash.

  @elormkdaniel Because 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.

  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

  @AnxiousHolly I stopped doing it awhile back too. Only reason I do it now is if an app IS having an issue. Or Waze… it never wants to let go of GPS signal otherwise.

  @freeloader2021 Is the problem FSD the Driver or FSD the Navigator. I think map data needs lanes selection like waze

  @ArmitageX @waze I was the same way at first, but the hardware is actually solid. @GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to create a non-Google phone with the same hardware hardening they require, but that's still a ways out.

  see the problem with google maps and waze is that waze has way better cop reporting but every time i try to use it for navigation that shits ***** me all up cause I dont go anywhere normal so I gotta use google maps but the reporting SUCKS ****

  also has anyone else been having problems with Google and Waze on iPhone lately?? it feels like nothing loads. genuinely feel conspiratorial. I can have like two or three bars of 5G and it's just slow as ****. I mean NEVER loads.

• 
  Dave W (@Sir56ALot) reported 39 minutes ago

  @NationalHways @NRManc Then there are the errors; marking overnight closures as 24-hour closures is a particular annoyance. They’re clear to see because Waze routes around them but Google Maps shows green traffic both ways through the “closure”. The data’s useless if it’s not perfect.

  @MagaSgt @waze You should do it! I guess I should get the app now to show my support. I prefer a level-headed approach to issues rather than tantrums.

  Paugus Tadmuck (@PaugusSpdragoo) reported 44 minutes ago

  @MJBiercuk @qctrlHQ It depends on having an up-to-date map file in the system. While it may sound like how GPS works...it doesn't. With GPS, the receiver measures how long it takes to get the radio signal from the GPS constellation (since the speed of light in an atmosphere is pretty fixed), so it can calculate its position. Kind of like counting the time in seconds between seeing a lightning flash & hearing the thunder, then dividing by 6 to figure out how many miles away the lightning hit. At best, a gravitic-based sensor will tell you how far you might be from the closest portion of the Earth...but I suspect the math involved & the actual measurement & detection of the gravity field is much more complex than that. And since apparently they're saying "gravity fluxuates quite a bit as you travel through the ocean", that's why you need the updated map so that you can know where you're at. I also strongly suspect, now that I've had a few more days to think about it, that it also requires some sort of **initial** position fix to work. Because I would also suspect that, since a lot of the Earth's crust is made of similar materials, and there are sections of the ocean with similar depths & similar crust/coastal configurations, that the system can't just say "Given a gravitic flux of 0.xabcz, you are at latitude XX.YY.ZZ and longitude TT.UU.VV.", because that particular flux reading is probably **not** unique. Which makes this more akin to INS (which is ***highly*** dependent on knowing exactly where you started from to determine your current position)...unlike GPS, which (unless you're using Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or some other routing app) doesn't give AF where you started from, because it doesn't need that to know where you're currently at.

  @wholemars @DevinOlsenn It could be, if able to change the speed limit control on the screen. This could actually fix two major issues, current speed limits being wrong as the entire neuro-net could be updated in real time, like in Waze, and the system can properly adjust to user preferences as it would know what said preferences are

  @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.

  @SurScribbles It has problems integrating with many cars (believe, I feel like I always seem to rent them in my travels), I don’t think adding more stuff to the Tesla UI is the answer. Plus, my phone is always with me. I have access to all of the stuff CarPlay would carry over. I can stream music directly from my phone, or use Waze (which I do). At the end of the day, CarPlay is meant to bridge the car to its passenger. But with autonomy, none of that is necessary. Ultimately, you’ll be able to use your phone or laptop or anything else in the car. That’s why I think CarPlay is a step backwards. Not forward.
