Pile Up Warning
Recently I avoided a near miss i attribute primarily to Waze giving me the advanced warning of trouble ahead. About a week later is when Texas suffered a 100+ car pile up and I thought wait a minute.
I'd like to see the ability to report a "pile up" accident. I believe this should activate a push notification to users who have Waze installed, are on that road, and heading in that direction and when I say push, I mean push!
Have blinking warning, audible voice saying " warning, major pileup ahead!"
"Turn on your hazard lights, cautiously begin to slow down, and exit the freeway if possible."
This could even be tied into an emergency broadcast system to notify drivers who may not have waze of the danger ahead.
To prevent abuse, perhaps law enforcement should be provided a way of activating this system. For the public, perhaps require personal information and a warning that activating the system without reason could result in prosecution. Or, require multiple confirming reports of an incident before activation.
