Tel Aviv, 2006. Ehud Shabtai's GPS tells him to turn right. In front of him: a wall. The road no longer exists, and the map doesn't know it. So he gave the map to the drivers.
From a night of coding in a small office to a buyout worth more than a billion dollars: the story of Waze, and of three Israelis who taught millions of strangers to draw their own city.
