  @HenMazzig Btw, I don’t have Waze, but I heard they issue police presence alerts before I even had a smartphone.

  We’re not going to help these people by bringing in a few hundred thousand of them into our country. There is probably close to a billion of these people. Instead, we need to send people over there to train and educate as many of them as we can in Waze. They could work to fix this problem. They are extremely primitive people. They are inappropriate to be selected to live here in America. ________

  @ardeiusmaleus @catgirlprostate np! if you want to see how they mapped it you can go to the Waze Map Editor, login, and if you go near a part of the map not part of your current environment it will prompt you to switch. eventually I think they will merge everything but idk

  @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.

  @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

  @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

  @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.

  @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

  @JOKAQARMY1 So you delete waze and use google? They share your dirt with whomever? What issue would cause you to sue waze? It’s free, and you are free to use it or don’t.

  @KSTP People will just use Waze and slow down, more tax money wasted. Common nature of people has to be considered for this crap before it's put up. Washington DC had a ton of them and everyone just mapped them - dumb.

  @wholemars I've got two tickets on FSD.. it's annoying.. Tesla should build in radar detector/waze style police awareness and slow down.

  @naomirwolf @Uber Occasionally I have opened up the Waze App and had the volume on low so that the driver knows I'm comparing their route with the route from Waze. I stopped using Uber after the driver started pulling away from the curb before I was fully into the backseat-- and the door was still open. He only stopped when I yelled loudly. I use Lyft instead. All good, no problems.
