Waze, the popular traffic navigation app, is introducing a new feature called crash history alerts. By combining historical crash data with road and traffic information, the app will warn drivers about dangerous areas on their routes. To minimize distractions, the alerts will not be shown on familiar roads and will be limited on unfamiliar roads. Waze, which was acquired by Google in 2013, has been integrating its features into Google Maps and continues to leverage its crowd-sourced traffic data to enhance driver safety.
