Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice announcing what danger is coming.
2-It would be great to have all the options available in the mobile version, without needing to use the mobile phone to change some settings.
3-It would be wonderful to see the map, directions, and alerts on the cockpit screen behind the steering wheel, and to have the directions and alerts displayed on the heads-up display.
With these changes, Waze for Android Automotive would be something fantastic, just like it already is in the mobile version.
Thank you very much, and I hope you can implement all of this.

Hi, have mentioned to you this in the past and not heard anything back.
When on a phone call and using Android Auto, if there is any warnings, such as cameras, police or lane closures, it will display on the screen but will give NO AUDIABLE warning.
Also, if you are approaching a speed camera at the speed limit, there is also NO AUDIABLE warning, so if you increase your speed slightly and are not aware of the camera, you could be captured by the camera.
2 simple changes would help loads of users. I cover approx 60k miles a year and would appreciate this

When in "Sounds Only" mode it would be nice to receive an audible notification when ETA has been changed due to traffic and/or when a better alternate alternate route becomes available. Often ppl put sounds to "Alerts Only" mode when they drive routine routes and do not keep an active watch on the display.
