How Waze is changing cities and making driving more pleasant

This is a very interesting #NatandLo video from Google about the company Waze (which Google -- or is it Alphabet? -- owns). It gives a special peek into the Waze editing system and how top Waze drivers/contributors are out there helping make Waze more accurate every day.

I had no idea that Waze was more than just traffic though. Apparently, certain regions of Waze allow for road repair reports that go directly to government officials, other areas allow for car shares (Israel only for now), and even emergency response systems have made use of Waze's data to make better decisions and deploy aid. That's pretty cool.
