Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.
Navigating to a new location, adding a stop, finding parking spots/gas stations nearby, report traffic or anything else

Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Support no-touch voice commands. Like "OK Google", say "Waze, <command>" to perform common actions as a driver without touching the phone.
Useful commands:
1. "Waze, repeat" , "Waze, please repeat that", "Waze, what's next?" - commands to speak out the next direction in route (useful if missed it, or if the driver wants to know more than a KM in advance).
2. "Waze, report..." - reporting traffic conditions.
3. "Waze, find routes", "choose first route" - command to check for alternative routes (and then choose one of them). This, BTW, requires the UI to be concise (no matter what, seeing all options without scrolling)
4. "Waze, change route to..." - new target location. -

To be able to navigate to a Google contact that is stored with an address.
For example, "Navigate to John Smith"

Would be nice if when using waze on android auto we could add a stop from a catagory say like food, hotel, supermarkets etc rather than have to type or say in google assistant.
For example im driving to my desination and i feel like stopping at a KFC if i can just select it from the nearby food catagory list while going along on android auto be much easier than typing or saying it. can do this already if using it just on the phone screen! -

Add voice command to show and pick the preferred route in Waze (no voice command\shortcut in iOS). This will increase safety and navigability while driving.

It would be nice to be able to use a Voice command to have Waze select the nearest or cheapest gas along the route or with as little off route time as possible. I live in a location where it is not legal to touch my phone while driving so asking for Gas in Waze is completely useless for me unless I stop my car. If I'm doing that I might as well use GasBuddy because they have a better system for finding a close gas station.
