The Verge
Waze is introducing new AI-driven conversational features and navigation updates to improve the driving and trip-planning experience for users.Summary
Waze is rolling out several updates, including the integration of Google’s Gemini AI to enhance conversational voice commands. Drivers can now use natural language to report traffic incidents and search for destinations, such as finding open shops or low-priced gas stations.
Beyond AI, the app is adding a “less chatty” mode to minimize interruptions during navigation, a dedicated Motorcycle Mode for two-wheeled transit optimization, and personalized route suggestions based on historical travel patterns. These additions represent a significant, though measured, step toward integrating AI into the Waze platform.
