Reply to comment by [deleted] in Google merges Maps and Waze teams but says apps will remain separate | It's another cost-cutting measure by Google, but no layoffs are planned. by chrisdh79

This was always going to be the way it was going to happen, since the day AlphaBet bought Waze.

Integrate all the features of Waze into Google Maps and then kill off Waze.

Waze was the best. RIP.

I wouldn't have as much problem with it if Google wasn't known for changing plans and directions multiple times at a moments notice and killing off features that they have implemented. So we may get all the features of Waze, and then they'll just be all gone another day.

This is just one of the "revolutionary" features, it is basically a community data fed system, people can warn of road construction, road accidents, speed traps and also calculates traffic and ETA very accurately
