No speed cameras in NY. Maybe all of NY but I'm sure that will change. Surprised considering NY has become such a nanny state

I share your "wish" for Waze to work better in the car. Question - has anyone figured out a way to get audible warnings like you get on your phone from TeslaWaze? Would love not to have to constantly glance down to check for warnings. TIA!I just can't help thinking how silly it is to have the Tesla map on the top and the TeslaWaze map on the bottom when I drive. 90% of the time I know where I'm going and what I really need to know are of any traffic enforcement areas.
I really wish when the car is not actively navigating, I can replace the Tesla navigation view with TeslaWaze -- or Tesla can please just pull in all the speed camera and other traffic hazards from the Waze database and display them on the map with a customizable alert time 30 seconds before you encounter a speed camera or other traffic hazard.
This would really be super useful and take some of the stress from driving i certain areas.

Oh, I can imagine it, just not sure it will ever be a reality on my car!Yeah this is my problem with the current setup also. Waze is designed so that it forces you to look at the screen to really figure out what's happening and it is distracting and adds stress on a long drive as I'm constantly glancing down and scanning for the tiny speed camera icons.
It seems by design because they are now showing advertisements on the Waze navigation screen so they want you to pay attention.
'm looking for an Android app that I can have running and all it does is beep when approaching a speed camera and I have yet to find an app that can do this without navigating at the same time.
Imagine an app that you never have to look at and has different beeps for speed cameras, vehicles stopped ahead, and debris on roadway. This way you can use the Tesla maps and navigation and just listen to any warning audio alerts...
Or, Tesla can integrate Waze data and make us all very happy and reduce the stress of long distance trips.
Imagine Autopilot slowing down automatically when approaching a confirmed speed trap or road debris!

Word!Why not though?
Someone should ask about Waze when they have Elon's attention. Speed cameras are the single most stressful aspect of driving around town. They are just everywhere.
I’m assuming that full self driving would follow the speed limit. No need to worry about speed traps.Imagine Autopilot slowing down automatically when approaching a confirmed speed trap or road debris!

17 posts from this thread just snipped for partisan political content. Some relevant content fell with it because several people felt the need to tag the politics at the end of an otherwise reasonable post.
And to the member who asked "why don't the moderators control this stuff"...here's the thing, there are a relative handful of us and if the content isn't reported and it's not in a thread I'm personally reading, I won't see it unless/until it is reported. That is YOUR responsibility as a forum member. This crap went on for 3 pages before it was reported...this is on the membership, not the moderators.

I love Waze and still use it almost daily for information like road condition and police location awareness.
But I have to give Tesla huge credit since they updated the Nav system. In my daily drives through LA traffic, Tesla NAV is consistently giving me more accurate arrival time than Waze, and provides better route to stay or get off the freeway. I'm very impressed. If Tesla can add the incident location, and police location, I'll live without Waze.
This is exactly it though. Tesla had made their maps and navigation so good that it makes it silly to use Waze for navigation but that's what you have to do now if you want to get speed camera and police alerts.
I spoke with the VP of Waze and he said the CEO has a Tesla and has tried reaching out to Elon to allow the data feed into the Tesla Nav. Elon has not responded and so WAZE's view is that Elon has no interest in working with other companies for the navigation.Imagine if Tesla added a "data layer" that you can turn on and off with Waze data for speed cameras and traffic stops with a customizable prominent on screen warning or alert sound as you approach them... Ah. one can dream
