Yep - Great product.
Google bought Waze for $1B in 2013 and have slowly been integrating some of the alerts into the Google Maps product (you can see things like "Accident reported by Waze user").
Also, Facebook doesn't have anything to do with it (except to find your friends). Anyone using Waze or Google Maps will contribute speed/traffic data automatically. I use them both every time we head to the lake(Waze sometimes gets too cluttered and Google is a little less-so).
