But I've had Google traffic indicate a traffic jam due to a very recent accident but not a word was spoken on the CB. Besides, that's why we're given vision tests and trained to always be alert and always expect the unexpected. In dense traffic such as weekend traffic in suburban areas, Google/Waze will indicate traffic problems within 2 minutes of the buildup and/or slowdown and of this, I can attest to because I've seen it. It's worth noting, that is the very same technology that autonomous cars developers are utilizing to "see ahead and anticipate", and the technology data compilation speed and accuracy is improving every month. If you want to test this - next time you witness a significant crash in an urban or suburban area or other major road with plenty of traffic volume, immediately pull up Google maps with traffic and notice how the area and direction will almost immediately go from green to yellow and later to red.[/QUOTE]
