Lowered Cars
The concept is a Low-Clearance Vehicle Mode that would:
• Detect and report hazards such as potholes, bumps, debris, and flooding in real time.
• Allow users to submit hazard reports as they encounter them, similar to Waze’s current system for reporting police, accidents, or traffic jams.
• Provide alternative routes to avoid potential damage to vehicles, especially on streets, bridges, or parking areas with low clearance.
• Integrate crowd-sourced data to keep the map continuously updated for low-clearance vehicle drivers.
This feature could enhance Waze’s reputation as the most comprehensive navigation app while addressing a currently underserved market of drivers with low-clearance vehicles. I would love to schedule a brief 15–20 minute call to discuss this concept and demonstrate how it could work within Waze. I would also like to discuss a partnership/ revenue sharing agreement to integrate the feature into ways.

You can already report like, potholes and stuff. Which I do but it doesnt last long because most people don't care in their SUVs and pick ups. And I'm talking fairly major ones that could easily bend wheels if you're on low profile tires
