Question: How are Waze routes developed to be as efficient as possible?
- Crowd-sourcing
- Collective GPS tracking
- Both of these
- Neither
Explanation
Efficient routing depends on combining reports from Wazers with live location and speed signals. Community reports add context about incidents, hazards, closures, and road conditions. GPS activity helps Waze understand traffic flow and compare current speeds with expected conditions. Together, these inputs allow Waze to update routes dynamically instead of relying only on static map data.
Why the other options are incorrect
Crowd-sourcing is incomplete because user reports alone do not cover live movement and speed signals.
Collective GPS tracking is incomplete because automated location data alone does not include reported road context.
Neither is incorrect because Waze routing uses both community input and live driving data.
