  @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.

  Part 1: 21 one year old Jason Landry disappeared while driving home from college in December 2020. Jason was a student at Texas State University in San Marcos. On the night of December 13th, he left his apartment shortly before 11 p.m. and began driving toward Missouri City, where his parents lived. He was planning to spend time with friends during the Christmas break. His family wasn’t expecting him that night. Phone data showed Jason traveling south through Luling. At around 11:26 p.m., his phone stopped connecting to the Waze navigation app near the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Austin Street. Investigators believe he continued straight instead of following the main road and entered Salt Flat Road, an isolate gravel road outside town. Jason apparently lost control of his Nissan Altima and crashed through a fence before striking trees. Authorities concluded that it was a single-car accident and found no evidence that another vehicle caused the crash. At 12:31 a.m. on December 14th, a volunteer firefighter discovered the wrecked car. Its headlights were still on and the keys remained in the ignition. Jason was nowhere nearby. His phone was later found wedged between the driver’s seat and the centre console. The initial response created problems for the investigation. A state trooper inspected the scene, arranged for the car to be towed and removed ********* from Jason’s backpack. However, Jason’s clothing and several belongings were left along the road, and no immediate search for a missing driver was launched. Jason’s father, Kent Landry, learned about the crash and reached the area around dawn. After finding Jason’s phone inside the impounded car, Kent returned to Salt Flat Road. Roughly 900 feet from the crash, he found his son’s shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, shoes and watch scattered along the roadway. A small blood smear was found on the clothing, but investigators said it did not suggest a serious injury. There was no blood inside the car. They believe Jason may have received a minor cut while climbing out through the damaged fence or surrounding vegetation.

  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

  @teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.

  @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.

  @oi8achevy @diaper @TeslaKing420 Wrong speed limit data can be fixed easily in Waze by submitting a map report. A local editor can fix it. Those fixes usually flow through to Google eventually. I've contacted the local editor group about getting this road fixed.

  @TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

  @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

  @congressdj @Spencer10438140 I was trying to get waze working, so at least it would alert me. I was having issues with waze bluetooth talking over the tesla audio. I could not hear both at the same time. Grok said there was some browser version of tesla waze. Too busy to figure this out so far :)
