Does waze.com block AI crawlers?
Partly. As of October 19, 2026, waze.com's robots.txt blocks none of the 17 AI crawlers we check from the whole site, but keeps all 17 out of parts of it. None of them is named in the file: they all follow its rules for every crawler (User-agent: *).
It has no llms.txt (HTTP 404). Its homepage is 87,847 tokens of raw HTML, 54 as Markdown (0.1%) and 54 pruned for the question “What is waze.com?”.

From https://www.waze.com/robots.txt (1,544 bytes, 16 user-agent groups), parsed per RFC 9309. Blocked: no path allowed. Partly blocked: some paths disallowed. The rule counts are those of the groups that apply.
