I would totally pay extra for this feature. For context to Waze folks reading this, there is a strong lack of good motorcycle options on Android - especially if you also want Android Auto support. I realize motorcyclists are a small percentage of your users, but there's a market segment here ripe for the capture :)

I just wanted to add another anecdote around why this matters.
I am using currently using Waze mostly on a vehicle that does not have a touch screen (it's a Honda Goldwing motorcycle). While parked, I want to use my phone and the touch screen to do things like set the next destination, search for it, or switch to google maps and share a location to waze.
The fact that waze on the phone is essentially entirely disabled while android auto is active makes this quite annoying. The only work-around is, prior to initially activating android auto, is to set the destination while not connected to the bike and then answer the 'yes' question for whether to continue the ride after Waze switches into android auto mote. But this is infuriating when you're already on the bike, with Android Auto enabled, and you just want to stop and change the destination.
The fact that Waze has a motorcycle mode that actually does adjust ETAs and routing is *awesome*, but the lack of this support makes the overall experience much less useful than it otherwise would be - to the point where I'm often not even bothering to use Android Auto, with the penalty that I can't see the screen easily without taking my eyes off the road.
The way Google Maps handles this is pretty much perfect. The app is fully functional on the phone while Android Auto is enabled.
