Carplay dark mode
The home and volume / alert buttons in CarPlay dark mode have a grey background and black text. This is very difficult to read. The CarPlay UI button colours, contrast and sizing for volume limit would not pass any modern accessibility check such as WCAG 2.2.
Please review to make this excellent app even better.

Destop browser use - not intuitive
I tried using the website waze.com to do a direction search. It had the destination pre-filled (I clicked a link from another website). I tried to enter a start location (City, ST) but the enter key did not save it or trigger an update. When I clicked outside the start field, it disappeared. Totally blank. I just closed the browser and did a search from maps.google.com.

Don't require location to use Waze, unless the user is seeking directions
I tried using the Waze app on my Android phone. It kept insisting that I must turn on my location. If I were in need of directions I would turn on my location. All I was trying to do was to check traffic in the area. This insistence of having my location on just to open the app is kind of frustrating, so I uninstalled it and went back to Google Maps.
Before I uninstalled it, I did temporarily turn on location and tried to use it. It is not what I would consider 'intuitive'. At least not from the stance of a Google Maps user.

BYD
Implement navigation directions on BYD cars heads-up display (HUD) unit for models that have them (e.g. Sealion 7).Google Maps already have this, but Waze is better for navigation.

Large Vehicle type
As a wheelchair user I have an XL Base Citroen Van. Currently Waze will suggest routes unsuitable to save time on en-route. Recently I got stuck in the snow following a route change that I trusted but took me on back residential roads. There is an allowance for motorcycle, taxi or private car. Selecting “large vehicle” would exclude low bridges and keep on main roads regardless of time saved. It is a matter of safety.

One-Tap Map Interaction for Lane-Specific Hazard Reporting
Description:
Core Focus:
While lane guidance and hazard reporting exist, specifying the exact lane requires navigating multiple menu taps while driving. This proposal introduces a direct map gesture (One-Tap UI) to make lane-specific reporting instant and seamless.Key Mechanics:
Instead of opening multi-level menus, users tap relative to the highlighted route line on the map:Tap left of the route line: Direct-reports to the left lane/shoulder.
Tap on the route line: Direct-reports to central lanes.
Tap right of the route line: Direct-reports to the right lane/shoulder.
Key Benefits:
Reduced Driver Distraction: Cuts reporting down from multiple menu taps to a single intuitive gesture.
Increased Data Accuracy: Drivers are much more likely to specify the exact lane if it only takes one quick tap on the map.

Let me turn off the popups out of app while using carplay
The constant popups when i choose to leave the app in carplay for any reason are infuriating and makes using the car interface rather than picking up my phone less safe.
My reasoning for this is simple, i KNOW that my turn is coming up in half a mile, let me take not even 3 seconds to call my brother and my eyes are back on the road, that should be how it works but it simply isnt, every millisecond after you clear the popup it simply comes up with another and then i have to clear that… so on so forth endlessly. The popups when im trying to navigate to any other app 10x the time it takes compared to simply picking up my phone and doing that it that way, denying the theoretical safety bonus of carplay through sheer failure of design when it comes to these popups.
I want to turn them off so i never have to fight them again and i can go back to spending less than 3 seconds to do a simple task rather than fighting with a navigation app just to figure out what im doing for dinner.

botón repetición
Debido a ruidos en el coche (radio, conversación, ...) no puedo atender bien a las indicaciones. Otras veces, en trayectos largos me distraigo y no recuerdo si debo salir en 1 kilómetro o en 10 (por ejemplo) y eso me condiciona en la forma de conducir. Hace tiempo que he pensado que si pudieran incluir un botón de repetición de la última instrucción me sería muy útil para estas y otras condiciones parecidas

Automatic rerouting requires one to break the law in many places to cancel it and should be optional
The app automatically rerouting to a different shorter route is incredibly annoying and dangerous. It defaults to choosing the new route if you don't touch the button to reject the new route. Considering the fact that operating a phone while driving is ILLEGAL in many places, including my home province, it is ridiculous that this feature cannot be disabled. This is the one thing that prevents me and many other people from using Waze more regularly. There are a lot of safety related reasons why one would choose a longer route (weather, road conditions, etc.) and yet Waze doesn't care and will always reroute to a route that you specifically chose not to take.

Please fix expressway sign/image -
When traveling from south phoenix to north phoenix on the 202 interstate there are two other interstates within a few miles of each other that you can take depending on traffic. One of them is interstate 101 and the other is interstate 10. However the last number has been cutoff in the app so regardless of which interstate Waze suggests you take they both look like interstate 10 in the app. Please make the Arizona state sign bigger or the numbers smaller so you can tell which interstate you should travel on.
