2. A few user stories for supporting BEV / electromobility in Waze

   Dear Wazers,

   I have been using your product far before "the Google times." When I first downloaded Waze, the road to my home was not "Wazed-paved" yet, so I had to pave it myself :). Anyway, that's not what I'm writing you about. I want to extend a request to you through a few user stories, which would significantly enhance my electromobility driving experience. I hope you're already thinking in that direction, and we'll see enhancements for BEV (battery-electric vehicles) soon.

   There're plenty of elecromobile-specific apps, but Waze is my current choice for a guidance app. As such, I am suffering because I need to switch back/forth from Waze to another app when it comes time to plan a long drive.

   If you would like to enhance our experience with Waze easily, you could partner with the two most powerful solutions, PlugShare and abetterrouteplanner.com (of course, if they agree). But I think you're big enough to believe in enhancing your app by yourself and giving us the functionality to fulfill our e-mobility needs.

   I took the liberty to draft a few user stories, which I can find very useful. Although all of them will give excellent functionality to Waze, the first one is the most important, which would position Waze as the first massively used navigation software which incorporates proper functionality for e-mobility. I hope you have plans to win this market even better.

   In any case, here're the stories. Each story has a justification/overview to it.

   As a user, I need to see charging stations on the map so that I can plan my travel accordingly

   This one is the "mother of all e-mobility" stories. Of course, it's so big that it's easily epic, but shortly said, we, the users, need a way to see the charging stations on the map.

   The distinguished properties of each charger on the map should be like those below:

     name: "Awesome charger" # The name of the charging station, user free-form
     owner: "EVPoint" # the charging station owner
     description: "Please use our apps, available at our home page https://evpoint.bg/, to activate the charger."
     max-power: 150 # the maximum power, in kW, of the whole station. Sometimes people use only this parameter to judge the power delivery speed, but often it's necessary to have granulation per socket.
     connectors: # Lists all charging connectors available at the station. This is a good reference for it: https://evcharging.enelx.com/resources/blog/552-ev-charging-connector-types
       - CCS2: # CCS2 charging connectors at the station
           - count: 2 # two CCS2 charging connectors
           - max-power: 75 # 75 kW max power each
       - CHADEMO: # Chademo connectors at the station
           - count: 1 # one Chademo connector
           - max-power: 50 # 50 kW max power 
   

   The description might seem optional, but without it we will need a place to know the URL from which we will access the charging app. Usually, most of the manufacturers have their specific apps. So any particular data on how to access the station services is put in this field.

   A very important part of this functionality is the filters. When a BEV travels a long distance, we usually use the fact DC-chargers. These give us a charge for approx 100-150 miles (150-250 km) in 10-20 minutes. Most of these chargers are located near (or directly as part of) existing gas stations.

   As part of an MVP, I would accept the first four fields, with the ability to filter by max-power. However, an "MVP-2" stage with the connectors property, and the ability to filter by their type, will be a must since not all cars support all connectors. For example, a TESLA might have its own connector only, and my car has only CCS2 for DC charging.

   As a user, I would like to enter my BEV range so that Waze helps me plan longer rides

   This is a must if I could use Waze as my assistant for BEV travels. My vehicle has a range (let's simplify this for now - just a number of km or miles in my account).

   Based on this range, Waze could show me in a friendly way, directly over my travel map, where my coverage ends. Then I can zoom in, choose a suitable charging station, and plan my ride accordingly (see below). For this, Waze has to have support for more than one Stops (I think right now you allow only one stop, but even this would do, for an MVP, it's more than OK).

   As a user, I need better support for community-driven charging station data and status

   The community feedback is critical since the map is not yet saturated with chargers. Thus, having the ability to rate/comment on each charging station is a functionality that I use very often. When I plan my trip, I usually avoid chargers, where the community says "broken." And when a charger comes back online, the community is very fast to indicate this.

   The best way to leave feedback is to indicate if any user had a successful charging session. A simple Yes/No would do. The system can then calculate an overall rating per charger and display it in a Rating section. The written feedback from each user can also be displayed there (if there's such a given with the "Charge-successful/unsuccessful" rate).

   Dear Wazers,

   I have been using your product far before "the Google times." When I first downloaded Waze, the road to my home was not "Wazed-paved" yet, so I had to pave it myself :).

3. Allow alerts without a route in CarPlay

   Allow alerts such as potholes, accidents, hazards, etc. in CarPlay the same way it works on the smartphone app version where it works without having to add a route.

4. Mixed routing strategy (Fastest, shortest, economical,... and others to come)

   The "best" route is often a matter of personnal compromise.
   It's often a mix of fastest, shortest, and more and more road cost / fuel economy.
   I suggest we add a "Mixed" routing strategy, that could follow our preferences.

   We could think of a system starting with 100 points that the user would share among the different "strategies" of routing.

   For instance, one could set :
   * Fastest : 50 points
   * Shortest : 30 points
   * Economy : 20 points.

   That has the big advantage to allow other routing strategy for future.
   * Less traffic lights : 5 points
   * Less train crossing : 10 points
   * Nice points of view : 5 points
   * etc...

   of course, total points would always have to be 100 points. As i said, routing is a matter of compromise. :)

   I hope this can help waze users and developpers.

   Best regards

6. Android Auto localized voice search

   When using Waze for Android Auto, I would like an additional voice search icon to be available at the search input box. This voice search should work the same way as Waze for Android voice search works.

   This is especially important for languages where the Google Assistant language is not supported. It would also be useful to find destinations when going abroad and localized place names are in a different language than what is set in Google Assistant.

   This would reduce driver distraction a lot in many regions of the world I think.

7. Mejorar la seguridad en la vía

   Para mejorar la seguridad de los conductores en la vía, especialmente en Colombia, se debería:

   -Crear una notificación por voz que sugiera disminuir la velocidad por la existencia de baches peligrosos en la vía.
   - Permitir a los usuarios "pintar" los baches en la vía con un color que les permita a otros usuarios darse cuenta de la posición exacta de los mismos. De igual manera, se les permita "borrar" los baches que vayan siendo reparados.
   - Permitir la descarga previa de la ruta con notificaciones sobre baches para evitar accidentes por pérdida de conectividad.

9. Police speed trap trends

   Instead of only showing current police speed traps, have a toggle options for where police tend to sit and wait. "police hot zone" kind of idea. "police have been reported at this time for the last three days" kind of warning. This will not only help avoid tickets, but get people to slow down in the more "dangerous" areas

11. AskWazersBox - a hybrid reporting tool enhancing Wazers and Map Editors cooperation

    As StreetView is often outdated or just does not exist when trying to keep Waze Maps updated with latest road constructions or changes, road configurations/restrictions/speed limits/signs etc. needs to be checked and verified on-spot. There's no chance Waze Map Editors will go and check everything themselves. We have so many Wazers driving around that could help them answering specific questions.

    I suggest creating a hybrid reporting tool that would extend existing reporting functionality and help Waze Map Editors gathering specific answers they need directly from Wazers who are on-spot. This would let to keep Waze Maps updated as fast and accurate as possible. Let's name it AskWazersBox.

    Tool should let Map Editors to create a standalone object or mark an existing point/segment/area and specify a question as well as predefined answers and/or request a photo. A Wazer that crosses/enters/approaches the spot would get a popup asking to answer the question and/or to post a photo, similar like it is for fuel prices or when approaching a destination. If none of predefined answers are suitable, Wazer should be able to comment in free text.
    Tool also should let to select which level Wazers are prompted to answer the question to ensure quality answers depending on problem complexity.
    To prevent trolling or otherwise abuse of the tool, I believe it should be enabled for Editors that are level 3-4+.
    Also, obviously, some users may not want to get extra popups, so Waze client should have a setting/consent "I agree to receive questions from Waze Map Editors" which could be enabled by default but users also could choose "do not show again" etc.
    To prevent some forgotten AskWazersBox'es, it should be possible to set an expire period after which it stops sending questions to Wazers and only stores gathered responses for some limited time.

12. Google based domain fronting for Waze to fight internet censorship

    Hi

    As you might know Waze is being blocked in different countries including Iran.
    It would be great to implement domain fronting techniques for Waze client so people in countries with limited internet access could be able to use Waze without installing third party VPN software.
    Messenger App Signal has implemented such techniques and it has been successful so far.

15. Only report and show hazards / etc on your side of the road

    When viewing the map or receiving alerts, add an option to only report items on the side of the road you are driving and/or you are routed on. As a "reverse commuter" I constantly see hazards on my route but they are usually on the other side. It makes viewing the map for issues very difficult, almost unusable.

    EVERY time I have seen a cop I haven't used the Report feature because I'm a mile away by the time I report. Then the report is inaccurate and useless for everyone else.
    Make it so I can drive by the cop and then pull out my phone and place a pin on the location wjere the report should actually be. I understand your worried about people abusing and reporting thing across town so then only allow someone to report and pin drop something within 1/5mile?
