ETA on Carplay
Hi Waze team, any chance you can add a button to share an ETA on the Carplay layout? Current this can’t be done whilst driving.

The lack of sharing ETA from Carplay is the only reason why I haven't used Waze on a daily basis in years:
1) I do not own a car, and use Carplay daily on my motorbike. If having to take out the phone from your pocket just to share the drive when in a car is annoying, try taking off your gloves, undo and lower the motobike trousers I wear for weather and safety over my jeans to reach the phone in my pocket and, finally, having to take off the helmet because FaceID won't recognise you with the helmet on... EVERY SINGLE TIME I forget to do it beforehand—which, unfortunately, is most of the times. No; thank you.
2) Apple Maps not only allows you to share ETA (in fact, the full ride) directly from Carplay but can also do it automatically. In my case, I send my ride (ETA) to my wife every single time I go home from wherever I am (daily, when commuting home from work).
3) I am aware that I can use Apple Maps to share the ride and then Waze for navigation... Seriously? Two apps for the same goal? In the end, I use only Apple Maps most of the time.
Thank you for taking this suggestion into consideration.
Regards,

This request is 1,5 years old. Would be nice to finally have it on CarPlay. It doesn't make sense to have to take my phone just to send the ETA.

Yes this. I often have to use Apple Maps to send ETA and end up having to run both navigation apps to get what I actually want
