They also need to integrate AI. I mean come on who routes someone downtown during rush hour because it's the fastest route, yeah without an accident then it's slow AF. you would thing that an ai could figure out 8 times out of 10 shits gonna be backed up. I think AI should be used for traffic, including lights and shit. Let's get some damn efficency in traffic.

Waze is owned by Google. I wouldn’t expect it to live much longer.
I gave up on Waze years ago because it kept giving me the worst possible routes. I just do Apple Maps now and it’s fine. They’ve come a long way in a short time.
In my area, the address locating is actually more accurate too. I was shocked, cause the Google vans are around pretty regularly.
There’s a town in New Jersey that regularly sets up police barricades to prevent cars from taking the “shortcut” Waze tries to send drivers on when the George Washington Bridge is backed up. I learned that the hard way once. But I did end up at a nice Korean restaurant while I waited two hours for the traffic jam to clear.
Traffic efficiency will only improve when the producer is more closely to the consumer
Having 5 layers of bureaucracy between the people who pay for the roads and the people who make the roads leads to a really shitty and archaic experience
