Fewer commutes, more holidays

“While the vast majority of Waze navigators were going to and from work or school, or things that were more habitual, we're seeing people actually spending more time in the car and driving longer distances in place of aeroplanes or vacations or things that they used to do via public transportation.”

“We're certainly seeing a huge change in the way that people are moving through the world, which makes us have to rethink what they need from us in terms of what they're doing on the roads.”
