Waze users know that the directions offered by the app to a specific destination are enhanced by the data shared by the Waze community driving on the same road. Whether it is an accident, a slick road, heavy traffic, police activity, or weather, once the crowd-sourced data is shared Waze might change the route thanks to the new information it is presented with. There are multiple options that Waze users have to report this information.
While most use touch input to report these issues, it is difficult to do while behind the wheel. Waze’s touch input can allow users to tap the on-screen button when spotting a hazard on the road and allow them to wait for a moment when the car is not moving to complete the submission. Another option that Waze users employ to report a hazard is Google Assistant. The digital assistant also was used to quickly arrange for navigation by asking it to navigate to your destination.
Here’s how this would work. Let’s say you’re driving and spot an accident on the road. You can press the reporting button and say, “So this crash is why traffic is such a nightmare.” This reports two issues with one quick sentence-the accident and the additional traffic causing a slowdown.
