Interactively, I mean, not just reading its script. (Oh, and while we’re on the subject, Waze, could you bring back Terry Crews?) But if Waze could talk, this is how our conversation would have gone today:
Me: Navigate to home.
Waze: This way is fastest!
Me: Are you sure? That seems unlikely.
Waze: It’s definitely fastest!
Me: I don’t know. I feel like it’s going to be slow.
Waze: Absolutely the fastest way home!
Me: Well, you seem pretty sure. I guess I’ll give it a shot.
Waze: Oh. Huh. This way is really slow.
So I guess crowd-sourcing isn’t always the answer.
I feel like this is Waze nearly every time I use it. The proverbial straw was when it told me it would be SO MUCH FAST (over 35 mins! so wrong!) to go across Berkeley’s tiny streets on a hypotenus to connect to the North Bay.
Waze keeps wanting me to make a left turn onto a major boulevard without a light. I keep not doing it.
