The smart phone you carry with you could become a smart way to avoid traffic snarls. The Waze social networking navigation app for drivers can now be used to get reports of real-time traffic data, and your phone could be adding to the knowledge base to help speed you on your way. Trucking companies are eying the service as a way to save time and money.
Waze announced recently that it now has more than 7.3 million subscribers using its service, and paired the news with a report it has secured $30 million in venture capital led by Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers.
