Voice reports on Android Auto
It would be really useful to be able to report road hazards by voice on Android Auto.

This is a critical issue. Seems like a Google problem.

Apparently, judging by the number of votes for other ideas submitted, it is more important for app developers and most users to add new silly voices and other useless features than to significantly improve the safety of drivers and their passengers.

For me it's unthinkable that Waze doesn't support to report hazards via voice through Android Auto. I am wondering how many people became a hazard themselves because they pressed unsafely buttons.

Voice reporting is safer than pressing MULTIPLE buttons!
Please prioritize *voice reporting* of hazards on WAZE. -

This is necessary function for obvious safety reasons. Also respond to hazard notices via voice.

Noticed today, I tried reporting hazard using android auto and got response "sure. Reporting car on shoulder" but no acknowledgment from Waze. Google used to just say "I don't understand". SO .... Is voice reporting of hazards using Android auto now working??

I dont understand why reporting by voice is not already as basic function. It seems incredibly obvious

I don't want to be distracted from the road by having to select options to make reports. If I can do it through Waze directly, why can't I do it when my phone is connected to the in car system. This is a HUGE safety hazard that should have been remedied ages ago.

Why is this not a thing? Its recognises the command but doesn't accept it

I have tried voice command same way as without android auto and it even makes recognition sound, but ignores report.

I only use Waze with Android Auto, it really needs Voice reports to avoid drivers playing with the menus to find the right report while driving

Much safer to report by voice command when driving meaning not having to look at the screen.

Waze needs our input. Make it safe for us to provide reports.

I really don't understand why they won't add this. You can do it via the phone if you aren't using andriod auto. Like it doesn't make any sense at all when I can control spotify easily via voice commands on andriod auto.

This is an essential feature for safety. It is very counterintuitive to have a driver take their eyes off the road and hand of the wheel to report hazards... Especially when it is heavily encouraged through the app.

This should be crucial

This would be an amazing addition to the app!

Why is this taking so long.

I am throwing my vote in for voice commands using Android Auto. Also, you can't send a report through Android Auto because there is no Report Send button like there is when using the phone.
