More than one stop
Please add multiple stops and trip planning with multiple stops. Almost like what a courier or delivery driver would do. I work as a bus driver and have multiple destinations. I get to make my own routes, but currently only google maps allows you to have multiple stops to a destination.

Report roads as closed whilst using android auto
Add the ability to report road closures on android auto, without this it prevents the app from performing its primary function of proving the best route as closed roads go unreported and people have to find their own diversion around a closed road.

Enhancing Navigation by Selectively Considering Planned Road Closures
One possible solution could be to include a checkbox that allows editors to choose which planned closures are considered so important that they should be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective. This way, editors can select only the closures that are critical for navigation, while excluding those that are not as important.
For example, in Switzerland these days, the Gotthard Tunnel is closed at night for cleaning. This closure can cause significant disruptions to travel, as the Gotthard Tunnel is an essential link between German-speaking Switzerland and the Italian-speaking Ticino region. Without the tunnel, the detour would have to start much further away, causing much longer travel times and significant inconvenience.
If the closure starts at 10 pm, the navigation would strictly continue towards the Gotthard Tunnel until that time, only to then turn back shortly before the closure. This could be avoided if the planned closure could be taken into account in the navigation before it becomes effective.
A restriction would not pose this problem, but we would not have the flexibility to adjust the closure at short notice, as we would have to wait for the map update. That’s why it would be useful if the planned closures could be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective.
With the checkbox, it could also ensure that the end date is taken into account. For example, if the closure ends at 5am, navigation could start towards that closure beforehand. However, this can only be ensured with the checkbox, so that in case of an accident or an unclear closure end time, navigation is not initiated prematurely.

Suppress lane guidance announcement when turning lane is a single lane
Currently, on intersections with Lane Guidance mapped, for TTS voices, Waze announces the number of lanes that turn. For example, "Use the right 2 lanes to turn right".
My suggestion is that if there is only a single lane in the rightmost or leftmost position to perform the turn maneuver (whether it's a Keep, Exit, Turn, or U-Turn), Waze do not announce the "Use the right lane to turn right", or the "Use the left lane to turn left". If there are more lanes or more complex maneuvers, Waze keeps the lane announcments.
There are two benefits:
1) This shortens the announcement times - this is especially useful in urban areas where drivers may be requested to perform several turns in a very short distance/time
2) If there is a single lane to perform the turn maneuver, it should be obvious to the driver. Waze should announce only if the maneuver is not obvious.Note 1: I am making this suggestion to suppress the voice announcement only. This visual lane guidance will continue to be shown to the user.
Note 2: I am suggesting that the announcement suppression be performed for a turn with a single lane. So, if a particular intersection has 2 lanes turning left, but one lane turning right, the "Use the left 2 lanes to turn left..." announcement will still be announced, but the "Use the right lane to turn right..." announcement will be suppressed.

“Getting fuel/food” option if leaving the route, instead of being nagged to return to it
We just finished a two way cross country journey between Colorado and New Jersey. As usual we used Waze, and as always it was great. However, whenever we pulled off the interstate for any reason we were, of course, nagged with directions to get back onto it. I thought it would be really useful if a box could pop up where you could choose “stopping for fuel” or food, or rest break, so that the app would just pause directions

Vocal control of everything Waze can do whilst driving.
You should be able to just speak everything into the app, for everything and anything you might need to do, especially since it is illegal to even touch your mobile phone whilst driving these days.
Anything that requires 'touch' to operate whilst driving, NEEDS a vocal command equivalent

Add voice search while driving.
I want to be able to voice search for an address or a place while I'm driving. It is rather a inconvenience to have to put my vehicle in park in order to search where I want to go. Unless I'm doing it wrong.

Detour update
I use Waze everytime I travel. It's a great app and very user friendly. However when it sends you on a detour (ex: because of construction or an accident ahead), it should say why it's changed (why your taking a detour) your original path. I was traveling by myself over night and didn't take the detour, because I was uncomfortable and unfamiliar with the detour it suggested) to take and got stuck in a construction traffic jam.
