For the first time, the Waze navigation app comes standard in select cars, complete with a dedicated screen for easy operation and enhanced visuals.

It’s all part of Google’s ongoing “Built-In” platform that integrates many of the company’s core offerings, like Google Assistant, into vehicles. Cars that come with Waze will get real-time routing, full navigation and notifications, and your settings, preferences and favorite places will be carried over from the standard smartphone app.
Everything is built into the car’s display, and for now Google is prioritizing vehicles with large, eye-catching displays to improve the navigation experience. However, most in-car displays are easier to see than a phone.
The service is rolling out today, but only for select Renault cars, such as the Renault Austral Hybrid and Renault Megane E-Tech electric vehicles in Europe.
