  Hey @Tesla_AI FSD feedback from down Under: * The Tesla navigation in Australia is bad, it is biased towards taking right hand turns which are the most dangerous/slow when driving on the left, > pls benchmark your navigation against Waze * FSD drives decently my wife felt safe, but we need Mad Max mode because my grandma has more tempo, I did not used FSD that much because it takes ages to speed up * It's too timid to get into a lane/roundabout/cross an intersection * It picked the wrong lane 2x in a 4 hour drive ( same pattern, moving to the left lane to move right > hook turn overtraining much? * Pls improve the voice recognition of Grok so it can handle other than US and British, I have a slight Eastern European one, but even emulating the Ozzie one did not help ( Oi mate, bring me to the closest Macca's ) * Australia has a lot of stupid speed limits 30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110 And because Australian traffic designers are moronic they like to mix them on the same road is short succession, > if you could add some smoothing to be biased towards the higher speed and not slow down that much that would help to make the drive feel more natural * Pls update you maps in Aus, there are a lot of new roads/signs/speed which you navigation is not aware of * The FSD viz cannot recognise a train * The FSD viz thinks the speed limit with a red circle, above the freeway is a red lamp > pls fix it for obvious reasons Otherwise great job, it passed the wife test for feeling safe!

  @ravikiran_dev7 Google Maps pulls speed and location data from millions of Android phones with location on. When many devices slow down in one stretch it flags a jam right away. They add road sensors and past traffic patterns for better accuracy. Waze data also feeds in since Google owns it. Your phone becomes one data point in the system without naming you. This is how the red zones show up live on the map.

  FSD needs some systemwide Waze type features. Road construction is one of the biggest issues with navigation.

  @TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

  @deefinewhine Don’t use Waze. The problem you complaining about not gonna change because we drive fast in every lane but the left which causes accidents every morning. In reality most people drive like *******, if we just remove the speed limit like the south it will be better.

  @PieFaceMark I’ve been working in London these last few weeks and been beating Waze and google maps every time going home . Using the #knowledge 👌🏽

  @Proctor4Gov @Maggie725496820 Slowed down in speed for 0.6 seconds but didn’t record any collisions? If she hit John on the road moving in the opposite direction of the flagpole…how ******** did he end up over by the flagpole? If Higgins jeep was parked at the mailbox how come she didn’t crash right into it? You see how other details matter when you’re trying to claim this ridiculous collision? If the TL collided with his arm how’s he get the cut on the eyelid and nose and such bruised knuckles but zero bruising on the arm where he was supposedly hit? The marks on the arm (32) caused by only 9 little holes…no tearing, no leftover pieces in the sleeve…again, **** your janky Waze correlation and address the injuries.

  @jerry_peep @LimChronicle The problem is not using Waze. The problem is reckless driving

  @saswat101 @waze Imagine this: instead of just a "pothole ahead" alert, the app provides exact GPS coordinates and dimensional photos so crews know exactly what they’re dealing with before they even arrive. Even better? It can use traffic data to pinpoint the absolute best time to fix them—when traffic is at its lowest—to minimize the headache for everyone. This is the kind of data-driven city tech we need.

  @LeviKriel @T_Tremaine10 @JacintaNgobese Waze wa dramatic nawe, who said anything about spilling blood? When has demanding what's rightfully ours become a problem? illegal can never be legal, how many more kids have to die, who's child has to be trafficked for you to wake up?

  @ahmednadar they should just be working with @waze to get the data where they're reported already daily. Work smarter not harder.

  @USSMogger @chefhealthcoach @grok Jews are disproportionately educated, hard-working and innovators. Of course there are a disproportionate number of rich. And Nobel Prize Winners We gave the world Einstein, Waze, DiskOnKey,Pillcam, Drip Irrigation,ICQ, solar heaters… You? Moonshine, bad grammar & antisemitism

  @dilantha_de @AlsieLC His Waze app was not working, his other phone didn't work either. In terms of not being genuine, Careem gave me a full refund so not sure what is angle might have been. Likely new as not knowing Al Quoz to JVC is a rookie error

  @Dan_Donovan_17 @HoldenMaur50368 I never said Waze had its own GPS satellites. Everyone knows Waze uses the iPhone’s GPS/location services. That was never the issue. What Green was talking about was the timestamps and how different phone artifacts and app data lined up against each other. That is a normal digital forensics issue. Different apps and datasets can have different timing offsets and logging behaviors. That is what he was referring to!
