T-Pain’s auto-tuned voice will guide you through traffic

Kevin Bruce Francisco

There have been a lot of famous identities that gave their voice as assistants for the traffic navigation app Waze. Now, it’s time to auto-tune your way through EDSA since T-Pain is here to give you a heads-up of the latest events on the road.

We remember T-Pain as the artist that popularized the auto-tune effect applied to the voice to have that robotic effect. We’ve also seen T-Pain appear in hit tracks like “I’m on a Boat”.

To get him to start telling you where the next police is, simply open your Waze app and head to the settings menu and look for Sound>Navigation Guidance. From the selection, hit T-Pain and the app will begin to download the new prompts.

Of course, it’s better  to do all that at home and download thru Wi-Fi than while driving — saves both data and is way safer.

Uber expands coverage to the east — Cainta and Antipolo included

Kevin Bruce Francisco

Starting today, May 2, 2016, Uber operations will now bring you to the east side of Metro Manila including Cainta and select areas of Taytay, Antipolo, and San Mateo.

It’s important to note that the service only covers going to the aforementioned locations and not from them — so if you live in Cainta, for example, you can only get a ride from Uber going home but not going to Manila.

When you’re headed towards the east, there will be an automatic East Surcharge worth Php60 which is meant “to ensure the economic sustainability of expanding Uber Manila’s coverage area.”

Curious if your place is within the expanded coverage area? You can enter your destination  on the Uber app before hitting the Request button. The app should let you know if the location is outside of Uber’s coverage.

The app will require GPS notification, and will alert you via a notification when entering crime hotspot areas.

The app also has features including a direct call to the nearest police station, crime incident information and dashboard, and the ability to report crimes. Future updates will include device synchronizing, media upload, mobile unit GPS tracking, a report ticketing system, and a space for user suggestions.

The said app is also maintained by the police force’s Information Technology Management Service division, which had its website revamped recently to provide more services both to the armed forces and the concerned public with a chat system, multiple translation options and layout responsiveness to adapt to a wide range of devices.
