Just last week Google maps directed we take a turn going down the wrong way of a one way street that was already clearly marked as one-way on the map- yeah, I'm not too worried about even Google's dominance in this area.

Also, Apple maps in my area has been quietly, but steadily improving. Still not as many POIs as Google, but nicer interface and turn-by-turn (IMO).

Where did the one way street thing happen exactly? I find it very interesting that it can do that, it implies a disconnect between the rendered data and the data used for routing.

It could also be a simple routing bug. You cannot know.

I've experienced something interesting a few times in high-traffic situations (closed highways/etc) where byways produce time estimates which are instantly implausible as many people attempt to take them. It's interesting to think of methods Waze could use to predict optimal paths while accounting for its own effect on traffic.
