I had an idea: changing the focus (today 100% on the user), for a mix of the best for the user and better for the city.
Changing from "fastest way" or "shortest route" + "x% better to the city", there could be an intelligence that between paths with little difference, Waze send the user to the one that is best for the city.
For example : avoid a street that has more accelerated or expensive wear problems of land cover, avoid or avoid a hospital´s or police´s adjacencies, or avoid risks areas.
There is another care to take, for exemple: almost everyone who drives from my neighborhood to the city center will receive the same "fast/short path", but, if everyone goes by the same best path, maybe it could be not the best path anymore.
