Waze Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ray, Babysitter of Chaos রশ্মি (@TheRealStanRay) reportedWow 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.
-
Narr Trek (@narrtrek) reported@JackLinFLL Just to check if it was working I used @waze to remind me if my attaché case was in the back seat.
-
David Keyes (@DavidMKeyes) reportedBefore working with us, Ahmadinejad kept insisting that there are no gays in Israel. I told him it's pronounced "Waze," and we invented it.

Alan (@bitforth) reported@GergelyOrosz I am not surprised because I happen to have friends there. Google also uses them, Facebook names them differently but it's essentially the same thing. Especially in RL, the FANG documents, and so do most large tech companies. I would even challenge your claim that PRDs decide what should be built. In most companies, the core decision already exists before anyone opens the document either because a big customer problem has escalated, or an executive has set a priority, or sales demand a feature, a competitor has moved, or a small group has already agreed on the direction. A PRD RARELY creates that decision. They're mostly artifacts that large organizations require to make work visible to people who are not in the room where product decisions happen. You worked at Uber. You should know this better than most... the actual decision gets made in a meeting, a Slack thread, or a conversation between a few senior people. THEN the PRD is written just to formalize the decision, gather approvals, assign ownership, and create evidence of cross-functional collaboration. During calibration, that artifact becomes proof that someone “drove alignment” across six teams. The strongest case for a PRD is pretty much to stop people from building 6 different interpretations of the same idea, but then again... Google uses them aggressively and it is almost the perfect counterexample. It launched Allo and Duo while Hangouts already existed. It later killed Allo, split Hangouts into Chat and Meet, and eventually folded Duo into Meet. It ran Inbox beside Gmail for four years, then shut Inbox down and moved parts of it into Gmail. It acquired Waze in 2013, explicitly kept its product team separate, and still develops both Waze and Google Maps as overlapping navigation products more than a decade later. I am 100% SURE all of those teams had detailed PRDs. In fact, a polished PRD can make duplication worse. It gives every team a coherent narrative, supporting metrics, a roadmap, and a professional-looking artifact with which to defend its territory.

Kool Aid Man (@koolaidman60833) reported@OnlyInBOS Problem isn’t Waze doesn’t differentiate vehicle size so the Lemmings follow it blindly
-
DebtCollector (@DebtCollector15) reported@OGsDontFold Google Maps is so trash. Randomly won't give audio updates for turns, suggests locations further away for no sensible reason, randomly loses connection and stops updating directions. I have tried Waze and it gives me similar problems. There is no winning these days.
-
SFDelta (@SFDeltaActual) reportedI fail to see the issue here. I use Waze so that it WILL load balance based on real time info. If an artery is crowded, spread the cars out to different paths. Net time improvement. Also, to the traffic planners in Las Vegas who create rolling red lights on purpose, **** you.
-
Chaos Theory (@Samwyri) reportedYou people don’t rate Waze. Any day, anytime. Only problem is tech by genocidaires and spawns of Satan. Active collaboration.
-
Eze Adnαh 👑 (@ezeadnah) reported@baba_Omoloro Someone has to first tell Waze that a car is broken down before Waze tells others though. It's not instant.
-
Craig Jones (@CraigJones62051) reported@BuckeyeEmpire Waze gives you at least half a mile to slow to 73 and look for the *******. Use it.
-
Watanabe (@EzidLee) reported@DevinOlsenn I have no problem with mine. Waze? WTF is that.
-
Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reported@Financewisdom01 The guy who started Waze told me everyone is a bag of human patterns. The algorithms can do things we can’t. Like what if all the teslas in a parking lot started working together to see the grandmas passing behind in wheelchairs that are hard to see in mirrors.
-
JaderReloaded (@jader_reloaded) reported@DevinOlsenn You don’t need Waze. Drive the speed limit and problem solved
-
crazy people out there (@ron_doingstuff) reported@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 :)

Addicted Pig Kent (@AddictedPigKent) reported@Goddessjaide03 I want to learn the error of my Waze, mummy
