Smarter Route Selection
I use Waze on my regular commute here in suburban Detroit. There are a number of routes to my destination which Waze has to select from depending on traffic conditions. The route with the highest average speed is the interstate. The shortest route is a high speed 3 lane (each direction) cross street. The difference in distance between the routes is substantial (at least 5 miles or more than 20%).
Oftentimes, Waze doesn't select the faster and shorter route on its own. I have to select "Routes" and then select the cross street route instead of the Interstate even when it shows as on parity (or even shorter) time wise and a much shorter distance.
It would be really great if there was an option for "Smart Routing" which selects the longer interstate route but only if it saved a certain % of the total time (for my 40 minute commute, I'd think it would be something like 2-3 minutes or 5%).
