Enable passenger search while driving in android auto mode
In android auto the search is removed until the car is stopped. My passenger wants to search for a new location destination. Sadly we have to stop the car to do that. A prompt asking if you are the driver would be better, then allow them to search. How can waze assume all interaction must be the driver?? If the driver declares to be a passenger well that's driver negligence but stop All interaction to prevent that, this renders the app useless at times.

This is so important. I don't know why Waze is messing up the usability of the app so much.

This, so much.
Another annoying thing is that Waze somehow always thinks I'm driving, even while stopped, so I can't ever search an address when it connects to Android Auto and I need to fall back to Google Maps.

Also, when Waze is running in AA, the Waze app keeps crashing if you try to open it. I have to unplug my phone to change settings and replug. It is super annoying. Please allow us to search/change setting on phone even when Waze is running in AA.

Please remove the search bar while driving in Android Auto. Just do what you have done with Carplay, it looks so much better. On Android Auto, the search bar takes up a significant portion of the map.
