>whoever is running Google Maps is a genius.

Yet waze is still a separate product, instead of a set of features to be enabled in Google Maps.

First of all, Waze was an acquisition and the users/following of Waze is very different from Google Maps. It's a niche product to be honest. Google Maps already absorbs the most valuable information from Waze. I believe that's how they show accidents and road closures.
