Google announced the expansion of AI services in the Waze navigation app, introducing natural language destination search and AI-powered reports via its Gemini model, according to the company.
Google is integrating its Gemini AI deeper into the Waze navigation app, adding natural language destination search and AI-generated reports on road conditions, traffic, and hazards. The update allows users to search for places using conversational phrases and receive real-time, AI-summarized reports from other drivers. The move comes amid a broader industry push toward AI-enhanced consumer apps; as The Zioneer reported, Apple recently unveiled a new Siri at WWDC and Wizz Air launched an AI-powered booking platform. The Waze features are rolling out gradually, with full availability expected in the coming weeks.
