[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Waze prioritizes keeping your wheels moving, not actually getting there faster. [/b]I once had a driver take me through Virginia and then Maryland to get home, from downtown DC to NW DC. It was freaking ridiculous, and all to avoid a 10-block stretch of traffic in Columbia Heights. Now if I'm in a Lyft and they're using it I take over and direct the ride. [/quote] +100 It's all about not stopping for Waze (and if you're in a rideshare and not paying attention, it gives you a sense of "progress" if it feels like the car doesn't stop). I once had an Uber driver use Waze, and it told him to redirect from Mass Ave onto a residential street ... all to get back on Mass from the residential street via a left turn with a turn signal that lasted at most 20 seconds. It took FOREVER vs just sitting on Mass and inching along. I do like the cop and speed trap alerts, though.[/quote]
