Since Google owns Waze, it seems like they could use the unique data collected by each service GoogleMaps traffic analysis seems more comprehensive, while Waze provides invaluable information regarding the specific traffic conditions and hazards.

In other words, combining the what (Google Traffic analysis; Waze traffic analysis) and the why (Waze reports), the data could be used to really increase the efficiency and reliability of travel in ways beyond just fastest route.

It could identify spots that have higher accident risk, whether the listed speed limits are appropriate for a different spot, traffic infrastructure needs.
