    Great news! The Waze Beacons Program is in the works and constantly expanding.
    The Waze Beacons Program is the first scalable, affordable solution in the world to power navigation in tunnels. Currently available in select tunnels throughout Pittsburgh, Haifa, Israel, Paris and Rio de Janeiro – seamless navigation is available to Wazers underground simply by turning on Bluetooth functionality.

    Perhaps the GPS savvy would know more about

    * Differential GPS via FM receiver

    There are zero map apps that offer dead reckoning:

    continue navigation when neither GPS nor data (mobile or wifi) are available. Useful also when insufficient GPS birds viewable.

    + compass
    + accelerometer
    + time

    optionally

    * orientation (for fixed mounts)

    Given availability of map data those are enough to continue navigation:

    . in tunnels
    . in parking structures
    . in box canyons

    This is especially beneficial for those who do not have (no longer have) aGPS [assisted GPS] features.

    But dead reckoning will benefit even those with aGPS.

    there would need to be logic to recognize one car is not 'increased traffic' in the lane

    GPS polling would need be reduced for those vehicles not capable of accommodating multiple charging leads.

    It would be simpler for those not fond of personal transportation to cherish their respective warm-fuzzy for carpooling :P

  6. add a plugin method, e.g. radar detector

    combine this with trailing/leading police

    Waze could also use the accelerometer to

    + mark sections of certain lanes as undesirable.

    + mark curves [turns / bends] where most people sharply decelerated

    + identify lane markers!

    Another crafty use of the accelerometer is dead reckoning:
