Today, navigation and driver assistance apps are everywhere, and almost everyone has at least one on their smartphone. Obviously, we’re thinking of Google Maps, but also of Waze, which currently has over 140 million users worldwide. A true success story for a company founded in Israel in 2008, but launched outside its home country two years later. Then it was bought by Google in 2013. Today, the latter is almost necessary for many drivers.

Accurate data

On its website, Google explains that “ these notifications are dynamic and responsive current traffic conditions and roads, day of the week, time of day, and recent accident reports“.

Note that Waze does not distinguish between major and minor accidents to indicate that one road is more dangerous than another.
