Waze App Tells Drivers: 'Good Luck, You're On Your Own'

Frustrated Tehran drivers got an extra dose of realism today when the Waze app updated itself and simply displayed the message: "Good luck, you're on your own." Gone were route suggestions and time estimates�replaced with a digital shrug emoji and a link to a prayer hotline. Users trying to navigate out of Tehran were met with pop-up alerts such as "Try teleporting," "Might as well camp here," and "Have you considered staying forever?" One driver claims the app sent him in circles for two hours before whispering, "Nobody escapes." Waze's parent company declined comment, though sources say engineers have been reassigned to work on something less depressing, like asteroid warnings. Meanwhile, a bootleg Iranian version of the app�called "Maze"�has risen in popularity by offering random horoscopes and kebab discounts instead of directions. SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
