Custom vehicle
All want different vehicles, is it possible to either take picture of your vehicle or find on net and upload to waze. Then have waze turn it into your vehicle icon vs. The few you have like batman joker etc..
It would make this alot more personal, vs just adding vehicle in setting, which I belive is new.

Many of us drive different cars with different top speeds during the week. For example, there may be cases where someone drives a van/truck for work with reduced top speed (e.g. in Spain, for these vehicles max speed is 100Km/h in highways, whereas regular cars can do 120Km/h), while they may drive their own regular car the rest of the time. Or someone can drive a regular car during the week and tow their caravan during the weekend. This makes the smart calculations for ETA from Waze fail, since it's getting very different inputs from both types of vehicles.
A workaround today is to have separate accounts, and log-off/log-on when you switch vehicles. But there could be an easier way to manage it, using the already existing vehicle types. What if there could be a "custom" vehicle type, besides the already existing Car, Motorbike and Taxi, which would allow for Waze to "separate" calculations when using different vehicles? We would not even need to enter a different max speed because Waze would learn from our usual speeds, and we could switch quickly between vehicle types without having to use separate accounts.
I do think this would be a very nice feature by simply adding one more profile to the already existing functionality. Please consider it!

I did this on a TomTom almost 20 years ago!

We need to be able to add our own cars. Just make a system that takes obj files or other similar format of 3D object and process the file to add it as a custom veihicle.

I cannot believe that this hasn't been implemented yet. The current vehicle selection is abysmal. They don't even have a basic SUV car, even in white (the most common car on the road).
I don't need my car looking like a bulldozer or race car... -

I want to change the setup as I tow a caravan on occasions but it only allows me to specify Private car, taxi or motorbike. How do I change it?

I drive an SUV but I would like the car icon to look more like my own car.. a KIA Sedona/Carnival.
If there could be an option to use our own custom icons for our own cars, this idea could help other vehicle owners too ;)
