For a few days now, the formidable Google Waze navigation alternative has already been entirely adapted to Android Auto Coolwalk, so that all the advantages it already had, it joins the possibility of seeing its indications both in full screen and in roof tiles. With this implementation, for Waze server was again in the top 1 best browsers for Android Auto, but with every update in general, it is common for odd bugs to appear. Or directly, an inexplicable novelty in the form of absence: Waze no longer supports most voice commands for Android Auto.
One of the best safety decisions you can make with Android Auto while driving is bet on voice commands: Lets you do things like change songs, call someone, or set a route without taking your eyes off the road or your hands on the wheel. And as an example, almost fifty voice commands that you can use with Google Assistant and Android Auto.
Until a few days ago, like Google Maps and other services, Waze has taken over Google Assistant voice commands for something as useful as asking him to tell us how we can get to Seville or to tell you the nearest gas station, as you can see, two basic and most useful commands. Precisely for this reason, it was surprising that voice commands to specific sites had caused problems in recent days, which, as 9to5Google reports, made it seem like a bug.
Farewell See you later for voice commands with Waze in Android Auto
Nothing could be further from the truth: it’s something intentional. After some users contacted Waze customer service to report issues with voice commands, Waze explained the following:
After reading your report, you describe how Google Assistant with Waze in Android Auto is currently supposed to work.
The only voice commands currently available in Waze on Android Auto are “go home“y”go to work“. Our development team is working on implementing all the features of Google Assistant.
Which leaves us with good news and bad news. The downside is that right now we will only be able to use voice commands to drive to pre-arranged home and work addresses, but that we’ll soon be able to use Google Assistant voice commands in full again. Of course, there is no return date.
