Apple Maps Incorporates HAAS Safety Cloud to Improve Roadway Hazard Alerts

You must be that person doing 55 in the fast lane who doesn’t understand why the guy behind you is flashing his brights, when the rest of traffic is doing 65+ just to keep up with the rest of the freeway…..
Nah.
I follow all state laws in accordance, which even means posted speed limits. Like I stated before (Which didn’t require critical thought process, just simple logic), if you’re following state laws accordingly, then you don’t need to know where cops are posted.
Here's a nice little pat on the back for you, good citizen.
I tend to go with the flow of traffic, so as not to be a hazard myself - keeping safe distance for conditions, of course. If you're driving through Atlanta doing the posted limit, you're a hazard.
I agree, but it would be a significant advantage to have the features of Waze combined all into application, which is seemingly and slowly happening with Apple, and likely Google at some point.
Then people will whine about how much space is consumed by the offline maps.
I think this is awesome. Notifying drivers of possible hazards will improve safety and make drivers pay more attention. Driving is boring and some people go on autopilot. Anything to keep the driver active and engaged is good IMO
Totally agree! If you're in some rural area without signal Apple Maps is useless. This would be a long overdue feature.
You're not wrong ?♂️?
same. I just don't understand why the confirmation doesn't remain until I've reached the point where the incident is supposed to be located... in heavy traffic due to an accident for example you NEVER reach the accident before the confirmation disappears.
Apple Maps will do this as well. On one 800 mi. road trip a few years ago, there was a ton of traffic on the main highway up the east coast. We were headed for hotel we'd booked for the night, and Maps kept offering us reroutes to avoid the traffic and we kept accepting them. In the end we were on all kinds of weird twisty, remote feeling back roads. It all worked out, and in the end we got to the hotel super close to the original ETA offered when we started. I'm sure Google could've done this too, but I was really impressed.
I work on stuff close to what Waze and this "HAAS Safety Cloud" deal with...at least from the state-provided data sources.
The truth is a lot of the data is pretty limited w/r/t granularity necessary for driver action. Some of the software systems used by states don't handle all the edge cases of divided highway related incidents very well.
Information systems for this data entry is getting better though...a big infrastructure overhaul that added more sensors and cameras along roadways would greatly improve data accuracy.

All five of them. Hope you’ll be able to keep track them.

The point of the post was that maps does report them. You don't have to be a jerk. And that list is not accurate by the way!All five of them. Hope you’ll be able to keep track them.
