Waze, the most popular guided navigation application with real-time traffic information, starting today has a very useful new function for those who use it. Specifically, the version for Android of the Waze application, starting today, has a new function that allows drivers to ask for road assistance when they break down and are far from home, the system being theoretically available globally.
Waze implemented this system so that users of the platform can ask for help from other users of the platform and not from companies specialized in road assistance. The Waze application has implemented a button called Roadside assistance which displays on the map a request for help from a user, who warns others that he needs roadside assistance, so anyone in his vicinity can help him.

Waze has a very interesting idea here, but it's all based on the willingness of others to offer help for people who actually have problems. Here comes, of course, the problem of those who want to do good, or do bad, so if you ever decide to use this function of Waze on the iPhone, when it will be available, I recommend you to be very careful, because not you know who could claim to come to your aid.
Waze has not yet announced when it plans to launch the new feature on the iPhone, but I have a vague impression that we won't have to wait very long for it. Waze is currently available on iPhone and Android, with over 100 million monthly active users, this base is constantly growing thanks to the utility that the application has for all users who use it.
