Better 'ok Google' voice control
Since its simple enough to configure Google to auto-listen for 'ok Google' and its voice recognition is much faster than the three-finger touch version in Waze, could Waze implement a full set of commands for the 'ok Google' interface?
Examples:
* Okay Google, Navigate home with Waze (obvious)
* Okay Google, Send alert police with Waze (sends notification)
* Okay Google, Add stop, coffee with Waze (opens the add-stop interface with a search result for 'coffee')
* Okay Google, stop navigating with Waze (stop current navigation)
Better touchless controls should be a major priority and the Android voice system is already set for it.

The suggested options are already available in Waze!

No, it is not available currently. Apple CarPlay does not allow voice control of Waze and OK Google clearly does not work either. Since there is a rather large contingent of Apple users who also use Waze it would be nice to have an interface to Siri.

Bring back google / gemini asisstent to control waze on phone just through voice... f.ex. Hey/Ok, Google/Waze

Integrate with Google Assistant. "Ok Google, Report Map Issue." Then prompt the driver for details via voice-to-text.

@ ADMIN Waze Team (Admin) Can you add this please when connected on Apple Carplay and not exclusively on the iOS app itself.

We need to be able to say OK Waze report, or whatever.
And a lot more extensive voice commands, full Google now integration
