The favorite application of a large part of Bulgarian drivers, Waze, has undergone a serious metamorphosis, implementing a package of innovations that promise to make navigating through traffic jams significantly more intuitive and, more importantly, cheaper.
One of the most beneficial innovations for our latitudes is the intelligent notification of “lying police officers“ and sharp turns. You will no longer have to test the strength of your shock absorbers at the last moment – the application signals artificial bumps and specific road sections early enough. This not only protects the equipment, but also prevents dangerous maneuvers in heavy traffic.
For those who often struggle with “labyrinths“ at large roundabouts, Waze offers a lifeline in the form of improved lane navigation. No more wondering which lane to choose when entering or where exactly to change to exit. The application now provides crystal clear visual instructions on which lane of the roundabout you should be in.
Strict speed control also finds its technological answer. The software now monitors dynamic changes in route restrictions. If you enter a zone with a lower speed limit, you will receive a timely warning. This function is a real “anti-flip“ mechanism that helps drivers adapt their pace smoothly, without unnecessary stressful braking in front of patrol cameras.
In terms of technology, Waze is also taking a big step towards humanizing road traffic. The system begins to recognize approaching vehicles with a special driving mode - ambulances and fire engines. Although the service was initially focused on other markets, it is now actively integrated in our country, giving drivers precious seconds to free up the roadway for rescue teams.
Last but not least, artificial intelligence plays the role of a personal assistant that remembers your habits. The application learns which routes you prefer for your daily trips and offers them to you as a priority, but without ignoring the real-time situation.
