I have Waze but it’s not my primary navigation app. It’s good but I wish it was more native to cars and don’t rely on users reporting.

What would you want, Waze (Google) employees monitoring every mile of every road to know when there's a cop taking radar to put it on the map?

Probably hinting at something similar to lane-keep assist or lane-change assist, where it’s a sensor. Or crash detection. In this case, it’d be a built-in sensor that either scans for police radio with a nearby radius or scans for signals that only radiate off police cruisers and then have a light go off on the dash to indicate that there’s a cop nearby.

Something to that’s not removable.

Never going to happen.

The police radio detector would always be receiving signal, so then you'd have to have some kind of speech recognition AI or something to figure out if there's one checking speed.

Then if there were a built-in radar detector, it would be illegal to sell in many states.
