Update "auto focus" on notifications
I use Waze on my Android linked with Android Auto in my Mazda CX5. It has a display, but not a touch screen. When it comes up with a notification like "vehicle on shoulder" I can never get the focus to stay on "Not There" or "Still There" because every time the mileage updates, the focus jumps to the "Search" icon. Do not change FOCUS when mileage updates.

I have the same issue with a 2023 Mazda 3. The UI desperately needs to be improved for non-touchscreen Android Auto use. This is one of several frustrating things about Waze in a non-touchscreen environment.

Came here to gripe about the same thing on my Mazda CX5.

Came here to post this same suggestion. It seems they should put in an option to have it "Focus" on the notice dialog, that way it's either an Okay (agree with prompt) or a 1 scroll to disagree.
Otherwise we may need alerts for "Driver up ahead is trying to reply to a Waze alert" .. alert.

I drive an i3. It has rotary controls similar to the Mazda(s).
Maybe when a popup notification comes up, let us users rotate/scroll to the part of the screen it appears.
On my setup, notification appears to the left. AA driver seat location is left for me; and Navigation is set to display closer to the driver.
