Google is rolling out a set of AI-powered updates for Waze, including Gemini-backed features designed to make reporting and personalization easier while driving. The changes extend Google's broader push to weave Gemini into widely used consumer products.
For Waze, the additions could make the app feel less like a static navigation tool and more like an adaptive assistant. They also raise the competitive bar for mapping apps as AI voice interaction becomes a standard part of transportation software.
