Waze, the popular traffic navigation app, is now warning drivers when they are approaching a road with a history of crashes. The feature, which was announced today, is designed to help drivers be more aware of the potential for accidents and take steps to stay safe.
Waze will use artificial intelligence to analyze a variety of factors, including typical traffic levels, elevation, and whether the road is a road or highway, to identify crash-prone areas. The app will also take into account historical crash data reported by the Waze community.
When a driver is approaching a crash-prone road, Waze will display an alert that says “history of crashes.” The alert will appear before the driver reaches the road, giving them time to slow down and be more cautious.
Waze will limit the number of alerts that drivers see on roads that they regularly drive. This is to minimize distractions for drivers. However, drivers will still see alerts for roads that they are not familiar with.
The new crash history alerts are a valuable addition to Waze. They can help drivers be more aware of the potential for accidents and take steps to stay safe.
