I have an idea about how to make Waze truly "blind" -- i.e. how to use it to post accurate and detailed notices without ever having to look at the device (or look away from traffic).

The way it works right now is you tap the Report Icon and then a screen appears with a number of options. For most options there are suboptions, and then you have to send the report for it to make it visible to other Wazers. This means a minimum of FOUR times you must glance at your phone in order to report something. However, there is a way that you don't need to look even once! It involves sounds and dragging.

To start a report, the button should be in the bottom-right corner -- all the way in the corner, so we can FEEL where the button is by tracing the edge of our screen with our fingers. Once our finger is touching that corner area for a moment, then is plays a unique sound. This sound tells the driver that they are activating the report screen.

The report screen appears only if the finger remains touching the screen, but stays up as long as the finger is there. The sound the report screen might make is a 'C' xylophone note.

Then the user drags their finger to another spot on the pop-up. As they drag their finger to that spot, different options play different sounds. Traffic might be a 'G' xylophone note, while Police might be an 'E'. So the user can determine which issue they are reporting by hearing the sound that corresponds to that issue. After hovering for a moment on that issue, a secondary pop-up screen appears and sub-options are listed here. Again a different sound will play for each of these sub-options that are dragged over ('A' and 'D' xylophone notes for minor traffic, 'A' and 'G#' for standstill, etc).

After hearing the correct sequence of sounds (of which would take some time to get used to but then should work smoothly), the user then lets go of the phone. A second tap anywhere would confirm the report (which could play a 'C' chord or something).

The user would hold down their finger, dragging to two places, and tapping. Never once should he/she have to look away from the road. With time this would be much faster than regular reporting as well.

Other options for sounds:
-- A voice reporting the current option ("Accident", "Caution", etc)
-- Sound effects ("car crash", "squealing tires", honking", etc)
-- Other instruments ("trumpets", or "Johnny Cash" (In fact you could have guest performers as well, like an add-on like the voice commands)).
