Waze is rolling out a new update that adds multiple AI-powered and customization features, largely powered by Google’s Gemini assistant. Several reports say the app expands Gemini-based capabilities such as conversational destination search and letting users report road hazards or suggest map updates by speaking naturally. The update also introduces personalization features intended to tailor routing and guidance more closely to individual driving habits. In addition, Waze adds a Motorcycle mode designed to adjust routing and alerts for riders, including hazard-oriented warnings. Some coverage notes that the Motorcycle mode does not launch everywhere immediately, with the United States cited as an exception in at least one report. Another prominent addition is “Less Chatty” mode, which reduces the amount of voice prompts and feedback the app provides while driving. Multiple outlets also describe the update as improving Waze’s existing conversation/reporting features that were introduced previously, while extending Gemini integration across more parts of the experience. The overall goal described across sources is to make Waze more interactive and customizable while strengthening its positioning against other navigation apps.
