All the popular maps get traffic data from people who have their map apps open. [1] Waze has somewhat gameified it to make users give them even more real-time data.
My SirusXM radio gets its data from traffic probes and GPS equipped trucks while also monitoring other conditions, probably from a command center. They state there can be a 20 minute delay.[2] I’m surprised they aren’t collecting data from my radio since my car has LTE.
