Waze Lets You Report Traffic With A Wave Of Your Hand

If you're one of the 12 million drivers who use real-time traffic data from Waze, there's a drawback ? the smartphone app depends on users to collect traffic data, but if a driver is stuck in traffic or spots an accident, that's exactly when they shouldn't be fiddling with their phone. That's why the Kleiner Perkins-backed startup developed a new voice interface, which it's launching today. Michal Habdank-Kolaczkowski, the company's director of communications, recently demonstrated the new controls for me. The demo took place in the TechCrunch office, rather than a moving car, but I still think Waze has come up with a pretty elegant solution. Habdank-Kolaczkowski showed off reporting traffic to Waze with just a couple of voice commands ? "report traffic", then, when prompted to choose from different traffic levels, he said, "moderate."
