Please use a professional Chinese voice, for example, the previous Lily one
The previous Chinese voice: Lily is VERY great, clear and professional, our Chinese community really loves it.
But in the recent update, the voice is GONE! We don't know why.
Actually, I searched and just found it online, you can check why your team deletes her voice.
If you really replace with new ones, please make sure the new ones are as good as the previous ones. Because the current Mandarine voice (Tongtong and Xioameng) is just so so, which is definitely from a non-native Chinese speaker.
Thanks.

Add a wireless OBD2 sensor for additional vehicle safety information
Suggest adding a wireless Bluetooth OBD2 device (BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+) so Waze can access safety features from your vehicle such as:
1. Blind spot warning
2. Accidental lane departure
3. Show when turn signals are on - for those that forget - optional beep after 5 seconds and before my wife says “YOUR BLINKERS ON!!!”
4. Etc.Option - For lane departure and blind spot warning above - when the two are triggered the Waze display or the hud display below could kick in the appropriate mirror camera video (if the vehicle has mirror cameras) so you see the situation at hand without needing to jerk your head around. And if both are triggered at the same time the mirror camera image could add a red bar across the top of the image.
Accessing an optional Bluetooth OBD2 sensor would also give Waze an accurate vehicle speed so that issues such as the CarPlay/Ford speed discrepancy could be fixed without calling the vehicle manufacturer into play for a solution.
If there was a display mirroring option to use our phones as a heads up display or if
Waze this could be linked to one of the new TFT full screen heads up display projectors then all of the important gps and safety information could be displayed front and center for the driver.I drive a big 1 ton dually and the vehicles around me are my primary concern and keeping my eyes on the road is essential
Every aftermarket Heads Up Display on the Market is Lacking in showing safety features and none have the strength of information that Waze has. I believe combining all these features along with the latest HUD Technology would make Waze the best vehicle GPS and Safety device on the market.
Thanks Waze and Waze Community

Re-arranging the waze application display for "landscape" screens
On a 7" car display, which is a "landscape" display, the Waze application displays the "Next turn" box, including the turn description, on about a quarter of the screen, sometimes even larger. The Result is that the on-coming road map is covered by the box, and the "turn area" shows only at the last minute. For such a "landscape" display the screen display should be re-arranged so that the important part of the on-coming map shall not be hidden until the very last minute, similar to the standard "portrait" telephone display.

Heads up
Warning of reason for new route: when traveling, we sometimes receive notices of alternate routes, that we then may accept of reject. However, sometimes, we simply are directed to a new route without any explanation or reason. We have found that ignoring the direction can result in significant delays. Why does Waze not give a heads up with an explanation for suggesting a new route in ALL circumstances?

Report a danger from a person
I am reporting this on behalf on my 10-year old: In NYC, you frequently see panhandlers in the middle of our busy streets. Could you add an option to report a person in the middle of the street as a potential danger? They are now being reported as "danger: object in the street" or "danger: animal in the street" which I find very offensive

It would be great if the Units could switch automatically between Miles and KMs based on your location
I travel between UK and France a lot. I would help a lot if the Units could automatically switch based on the country you are currently in. I believe this would be helpful for people who travel between US and Canada too.

Constant alarm when you go over the speed limit with thresholds
Most speeding limit cameras are set to issue a ticket for going greater than 10mph over the limit. I'd like an alarm that goes off and continues to go off for as long as you are X mph over the speed limit AND where you can adjust X to whatever threshold limit you desire.
If the threshold in your state is 10mph over the limit, I would probably make the alarm to go off and stay beeping as long as I'm greater than 8 mph over the speed limit.In other states such as VA and KY, a ticket can be issued for being as little as 5mph over the speed limit, so the threshold alarm value X described above could be adjusted to as little as 1 or 2 mph over the limit.
I think the alarm needs to be constant and stay on until you adjust your speed to below the threshold because it's easy to lose track of how fast you're going and to get >10mph over the limit without even realizing it. There are many zones in NYC that are 25mph and getting up to 35mph inadvertently is very easy.

E-mail alerts for road closures
I'd like to have e-mail alerts for long-term road closures due to construction, flooding, etc. Those of us in trucking and other nationwide transportation industries could be kept aware without having to scan the entire national map.

improve voice recognition
I assumed that Waze was using similar voice recognition engine to Google. But I have the worst time getting Waze to recognize my voice. It's not me nor my phone. I can say to Waze "Ok Waze report police ahead" and nine times out of ten it'll say "sorry I didn't recognize that". If I hit the home button (to bring up home screen and have Google Assistant take over) I can say Ok Google take a note report police ahead" and it'll correctly create a note "report police ahead"
I assume that Waze's voice recognition would be better than Google Assistant since Waze has fewer words/phrases it needs to understand.

spoken voice warning for hazards
SAFETY!
Every time there is a hazard reported you need to look on the screen to identify what it is.
Please add spoken voice warning so drivers do not need to take their eyes off the road when the warning comes in - sometimes the hazard is moving or flagged too late on the road and you could already "bump" into it...6 votes -

Ads in Complex Intersections
Stop showing ads as I come into an intersection and NEED to see what turn is after the intersection. Same thing with the carpool ad. After I tell you 100 times I can't carpool, stop blocking my turns with useless ads that only annoy.
Thank you.

Waze should connect with government fuel watch programs (where available)
Some governments - such as the NSW state government in Australia - make petrol stations list their fuel price online: https://fuelcheck.nsw.gov.au/app
Waze should integrate with these sites to have LIVE fuel prices where available (without having to rely on users).
