> One feature of Waze that was unique for a long time was its ability to crowdsource traffic information. Users add live traffic information to the app as they're driving, like a car stopped by the side of the road or a crash.
I wish apps wouldn’t encourage their users to interact with it while driving.

- klinquist 3y agoI would love Waze to sell a set of bluetooth buttons that I can mount on the back of my steering wheel. Press a button to report speed trap, accident, or other hazard.
- unethical_ban 3y agoYes! And/or a hot button bar in the UI for frequent reports. Object in road, stalled vehicle, police are the top things I report.
- User3456335 3y agoProgrammable Bluetooth buttons already exist, it seems like you would just need to connect them to the Waze API (which I presume exists)
- klinquist 3y agoI was hoping Waze would have a deep link scheme to report speed traps (https://developers.google.com/waze/deeplinks https://developers.google.com/waze/deeplinks) but they don't. If they did, I could potentially pull this off with iOS shortcuts. They do not appear to offer it as part of any other API.
