#waze features

As the restrictions imposed on the community quarantine becomes less strict, Waze is adding new features to help keep drivers safe during the pandemic. With the help of Waze's Crisis Response team and volunteer Map Editors, here are the new in-app features: New Notification: Users will now be greeted with a  "Drive only if necessary" notification, alongside a "Stay safe and healthy. Drive-Thrus and Curbside Pickups: Waze can now identify the places that allow drive-thru and curbside pickups, letting Wazers know where they can get essential items. Updated Reference Laboratories: Waze has pinned 59 reference laboratories, with more on the way. COVID-19 Landing Page: To help governments, academics, and the interested public, Waze is making its COVID-19 Impact Dashboard available internally. The Commission on Audit (COA) has previously flagged the system over delays, incomplete features, and operational deficiencies. To support development, AAOS SDV includes tools for cloud-based testing and simulation, allowing automakers to design and validate features before hardware is available.
