From PC Mag: A new round of features for Waze aims to take Google's driving app in a more personalized direction–with AI riding shotgun.
The most significant change is one that people more familiar with Google Maps might have thought was already a Waze feature: the option of driving directions tailored to your earlier use of the app.
