Option to disable drive now popup on startup
Please add option to disable drive now popup window on every startup on android auto. Very annoying to have to tap x on screen everytime I start my car.

So, just wanted to comment on the use case of why this is not needed. First of all, when you are using wireless android auto, your phone is automatically connected to the head unit. At least in my car, the Waze display does not automatically come up, but I have learned to double-hit the voice-rec steering wheel button twice and then Waze will come up. If I wanted to navigate somewhere, I would hit the voice-rec button and say "navigate to...".
IN addition, when you do use the voice-rec button to "Open Waze", you should not be required to move your hands from the steering wheel to then hit ANOTHER button on the head unit to disable this pop-up.
Once starting waze on the head unit display, I don't need an additional distraction of having to dismiss a pop-up of optional navigation while I'm driving.
I think that this is a BUG as it's causing me an additional distraction while driving. Make this not appear, or at least time out after a few seconds.

Absolutely useless feature. 99% of my driving does not require route planning. If you can drive a car and operate a cell phone, anyone should be able to manually search a previous destination without being spoon fed the options at every startup. The most annoying thing about every drive is having to deal with this. Many times it will not manually close, requiring stopping and restarting the app. Not safe in my opinion. Using S22 Ultra on a 2023 Genesis GV60 Performance, not the car, this replicates in a BMW i4 as well. Please retire this horrible line of code asap.

Literally signed up only to post this here.
Please give the option to disable this annoying "feature". It is of zero use to me and is making me consider switching to another app for primary navigation.

Cela m'intéresse également de pouvoir désactiver "drive now" dès le démarrage sur android auto.

Use case - most trips are those we know our way to, and we don't need to type in the location so waze can tell us how to get there. We use Waze for alerts along our way. I probably use the navigation once out of twenty trips, at best. This feature is not helpful at all, it's one more notification for users to have to dismiss. There's also no benefit to it, as it still requires interaction. It's just as many taps to hit the microphone icon and tell it where you want to go as it is to use the provided pop-up. Just disable the thing, please, and help decrease world suck.

Is there a way to disable Drive Now from popping up every time Waze starts with Android Auto? I get how some people may find this useful but it is a big annoyance for me and more often than not I select a destination by accident instead of the X to close (my Mazda does not have touch screen, rather a control knob). If it is not an option can it please be added as an option to disable in a future update

Drive Now pop up freezes my waze. It should be optional.
I have to switch apps for waze to work again. Never happemed before when this feature was not there.

I know where I'm going most of the time I drive, so I don't need to have an option for guidance that appears EVERYTIME I start the car. It doesn't close on its own and it's really annoying to have to close it EVERYTIME I start the car.

I don't understand why the option to disable it isn't there. simple UX stuff.

Hey waze, why is it that anyone who gets in my car gets to see my address or the last few places I visited? Do I need the "drive now" menu to automatically come up when I connect to my android auto equipped vehicle (NO!). My boss got in my car a few days ago, up pops my waze drive now menu and low and behold, the last place I looked up was a weed dispensary the prior night...weed is legal here, but is that what I want my boss to see? The other day I had a heated discussion with someone and they leaned into my car and had a good look at my address, why did I have to spend a few nervous hours wondering if they will just show up to my house. I know where I am going 99% of the time, I don't need the drive now menu popping up right away...just make it an option! It can be easily opened if I really need to look something up instead of having to close it every time I get in my car and don't need it!
