A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's basically: "hey this route might be 1s faster, let's add these three turns to your route".
I actually hate it. That's one of the things I absolutely love about TomTom. From what I can tell, TomTom even prefers routing where you have right turns vs ones where you have to take left turns. And of course they prefer the slightly (!) "longer" route over one where you have to turn more and/or drive through narrow passages.
So in other words: Waze prefers the fastest route, ignoring other parameters that are relevant for driving.
