Vehicle profiles
User Story: Multiple Vehicle Profiles per Waze Account
User Story
As a Waze user who drives more than one vehicle
I want to create and manage multiple vehicle profiles under the same Waze account
So that navigation, alerts, and settings automatically match the vehicle I’m currently driving.
Problem / Motivation
Many drivers regularly use more than one vehicle (e.g., car and motorcycle, personal and work vehicle, taxi). Currently, Waze supports only a single set of vehicle-related settings per account, which requires users to manually change settings or accept inaccurate routing and alerts.
Proposed Feature
Waze should allow users to create multiple vehicle profiles within one account, each with its own settings.
Each vehicle profile may include:
- Vehicle name (e.g., Personal Car, Motorcycle, Work Taxi)
- Vehicle type (car, motorcycle, taxi, etc.)
- Fuel type (gasoline, diesel, electric, hybrid)
- Vehicle icon
- Toll / OHV / pass settings (e.g., toll passes, off-highway vehicle permissions)
- Other vehicle-specific routing preferences
Optional Smart Selection (Nice-to-Have)
Automatic vehicle selection based on:
- Bluetooth connection (e.g., car infotainment system, motorcycle headset)
- Previously used vehicle at the same location/time
- Manual quick switch from the navigation screen
Examples / Use Cases
- One car and one motorcycle
- One personal car and one work car
- One personal car and one taxi
- Three different personal cars with different fuel types and toll passes
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can add, edit, and delete multiple vehicle profiles
- Users can manually select the active vehicle before or during navigation
- Vehicle-specific settings are applied instantly when a profile is selected
- (Optional) Vehicle profile can auto-switch based on Bluetooth connection
- Default behavior remains unchanged for users with only one vehicle
Value to Users
- More accurate routing and toll calculations
- Less manual configuration when switching vehicles
- Better experience for multi-vehicle households, professional drivers, and riders

especially the toll settings for different vehicles (example: you drive multiple cars woth different toll permissions, you have to constantly modify your toll settings where if you make a mistake or forget it in the better case you get to your destination slower with a detour, in the worst case you get fined)
