Waze is debuting a new app-based service for two of its cars, marking the first time the company’s standalone app will be available for automotive vehicles. This allows drivers to access real-time routing, navigation, and more features without having to connect a smartphone. The ‘Renault Austral Hybrid’ and the ‘Renault Megane E-Tech’ electric vehicles will now support Waze’s automotive capabilities thanks to Google’s Android Automotive OS.
"Having Waze’s real-time navigation, routing and alerts built into the display of Renault’s vehicles, makes for a simplified and seamless driving experience," says Aron Di Castro, director of marketing and partnerships at Waze. "We’re looking forward to bringing this excellent driving experience to more users across the globe in 2023."
