AutoExec Summary
With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available on most new cars today, people rely on apps like Waze and Google Maps to determine their speed accurately and avoid speeding fines. The Victorian Government processed around three million traffic infringements last year, highlighting the need for accurate speed readings. We tested the live speed readings on Waze, Google Maps, and a car’s speedometer to assess their accuracy. While Waze provided consistent and accurate readings, Google Maps displayed lower speeds than the actual vehicle speed. It is recommended to cross-check your car’s speedometer for accuracy and be cautious when relying on GPS speed measurements, especially in adverse conditions.
