Waze realtime incident reports now appear in Google Maps for Apples iOS
Hopefully this means it will eventually make its way to the Tesla app.

Hope not... I've had countless bad routing from Waze in many cities from LA to Oklahoma City to DC. It simply cannot be trusted.

I suggest you not hold your breath on that one.Now that Google owns them maybe they'll combine the best of both. Google maps and routing with Waze traffic and other user reporting. Hopefully Tesla will somehow incorporate that.
You could even hold down voice command and say 'report heavy traffic'. That would be helpful.

Sensors on the road ... impossible.
I love Waze. It shows where the police are and where there's trouble like stalled cars, etc. It's not 100% accurate but it's better than just traffic info.

Actually, some roads do have sensors. I'm not sure if they're embedded in the pavement or (more likely) based on some software using traffic cams as an input. In other instances, YOU are the sensor. Many of the smartphone apps "phone home" with your data on speed, direction etc.
Usually the sensors are roadside microwave detectors, some mounted next to video traffic cams. Many sensors are apparently privately owned and then the data sold to Garmin, XM, Google, etc. They also buy data from fleet vehicles. More recently, as @mknox says, more and more data is becoming crowd-sourced and putting the private data sellers out of business! (When you agree to have your position known to Google or others you may be automatically agreeing to allow it to be part of the crowd-sourced dataset).
