Question: In what year did Google acquire Waze?
- 2005
- 2008
- 2013
- 2017
Explanation
Google’s acquisition of Waze placed the community-based navigation platform within Google’s broader mapping ecosystem. The transaction preserved Waze’s core value around real-time driver input, traffic reports, and route optimization. This historical point helps explain why Waze remained a distinct navigation product while benefiting from Google ownership. The year is a company-history fact, not an advertising format or campaign setting.
Why the other options are incorrect
2005 is earlier than Waze’s acquisition by Google.
2008 is not the year Google acquired Waze.
2017 is later than the Google acquisition of Waze.
