Voice Input and HOV Options in Android Auto
Allow for voice input (for stops/searches) while driving and give options for HOV travel while in Android Auto. Having to pull over while on a freeway to add a stop if it is not within your most recent stops is really frustrating and dangerous.

Junction after junction only pre-alert by voice, no graphic indicates.
Turn after turn only mention in voice over, has no graphic indicater. Ex. Keep right then the next keep left right aways less then 100 meter.
It's easy to miss the second voice over, and it's very dangerous to driver.
Such as: keep right 200 Meter + keep left 50 Meter.

Could you voice when…
- It would be nice to hear a Voice when there is a reroute option when there is an accident.
- It would be safer for the driver to be able to speak to Waze when there is an accident, police, hazardous materials on the road or a car on the side etc.

Implement user-configurable delay (in increments of 0.1 sec) for voice alerts
Some vehicle Bluetooth implementations have lengthy handshaking which prevents the first second or two of Waze voice alerts from actually being heard. My car has a feature that ramps up the volume of a Bluetooth phone incrementally on first connection. However, the impact is that in most driving situations, the first two seconds are simply too quiet to be heard!
For example, instead of "In 500 metres, turn right onto Main Street.", all you hear is ".. to Main Street". Obviously, this information is unclear and confusing, forcing the driver to glance at the map on the phone to verify…

Waze's own chat
I was picking up my little brother yesterday and in the meanwhile i noticed that if i didnt have to switch between whatsapp and waze in order to chat with people not interested in waze, it would be even cooler!
I mean. I may log in so i could contact "a friend" that i know is connected to waze for example, just to chat. The facebook friends list is awful, because .. what? 30% of your list uses waze? and when they wanna chat with you, they dont think of the waze-3.5-facebook chat a a good system, so i have…

voice notifications regarding directional information
I miss the function for setting of the voice notifications regarding directional information. for example, before a change of direction, I am informed repeatedly or several times about the further direction of travel. However, it would be useful to be able to set the interval of such messages individually.
Technically, this could scale like this, for example:
shortly before the object
100 meters before the object
200 meters before the object
etc.

Simplified voice directions
Voice directions can often be unnecessarily long and complicated (eg telling you not just the street or Road to turn down but the state route number which is irrelevant). I see you have bigger directions on and off options, but what about a simplified or minimal directions option? Where you only get Street names, you don’t get an initial “this torture is similar to state route bla bla bla” when starting directions, and perhaps even not several reminders about a turn, or if the next turn is within less than 1km you don’t have to hear the initial turn in…

Cha Cha Slide Themed Voice
Upon selecting the "Cha Cha Navigator" voice, users are greeted with: "Welcome to the Cha Cha Navigator! Let's slide through traffic together."
Instead of traditional directions, instructions are given in the style of the song:"Slide to the left" for a left turn."Slide to the right" for a right turn.Everybody clap your hands" when arriving at the destination.
Playful warnings for speed cameras or police:"Speed camera ahead, cha cha real smooth now!"Customization:Users could also customize the intensity of the Cha Cha Slide references, choosing from "Mild Slide," "Moderate Slide," or "Full Slide" to suit their preference.I believe this playful and engaging…
