Waze will now warn drivers about crash dangers using historical data
The feature combines geographic and traffic data with historical crash data.

This will be amazing. Even if it saves one life (and it will likely save many), it's a very welcome change
Agreed. Don't understand why people use Google Maps over Waze unless you're not in a car.
I used to use Waze, but got tired of it sending me through back streets and turns to save only a minute - problem was, those slower back streets and waiting at junctions ended up taking longer.
Google Maps on the other hand will offer more sane routes, and only send me down back streets where the saving is more than say 4 or 5minutes.
Also, Waze made my phone HOT!
I'm sure Waze used to say that where you know better, use your own initiative rather than blindly follow a machine.
There are settings in Waze to turn off the problems that you encountered. Apps change of you're lucky. Maybe I'm wrong about maps today; I try it every now and again. Maps is all I use for public transport and walking.
Loving the last comment: nothing like an app to make an old phone, sparkle like new. 😁
