In Israel Waze has proved it can shave precious minutes off your commute. Now going global
Israeli startup Waze may well have developed the technology to truly revolutionize driving, allowing drivers to shave precious minutes off their commutes, providing real time updates of traffic conditions, and even generating real-time maps - all for free.
Thanks to Waze, Israel has the most up-to-date traffic information of any Western country, says Waze founder and president Uri Levine. "We have a huge network of 200,000 (drivers) users in Israel, where we have been releasing our beta applications, and now we've begun taking on traffic jams in the US, coast to coast."
In the two months that the Waze iPhone application has been available in the US, it has been downloaded by more than 50,000 people, many in the San Francisco area, where Waze has its US office.
Levine sees that number as just a drop in the bucket. "We expect hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of downloads as word gets out about Waze," he asserts. And with traffic a daily challenge for most of us all over the world, Waze does not intend to restrict itself to the US.
