Waze 接入 Gemini，新增多项 AI 功能

Waze 正在进行 AI 改造。谷歌将其旗舰 AI 助手 Gemini 整合进这款驾驶应用，目的是让用户能够更多地个性化他们的行程。

在这四项新更新中，只有两项被描述为涉及 Gemini。Waze 表示，它正在更新其对话报告功能，该功能最早于 2024 年推出：/2024/10/31/24284037/waze-report-incidents-voice，以允许驾驶者使用对话语音命令报告交通事件并建议地图更新，例如道路封闭或过时的门牌号码。此外，Waze 引入了目的地搜索功能，使驾驶者再次可以使用对话语音命令（例如，“帮我找一家现在营业的咖啡店”或“帮我找附近价格最低的加油站”）来查找目的地。

鉴于 AI 在对话语音交互方面的巨大进步，这一点是有道理的。对于其非 AI 功能，Waze 允许用户调整为“更少交谈”的语音提示模式，这样驾驶者在使用应用的导航时，就不必牺牲他们的音乐或播客听觉体验。Waze 还推出了摩托车模式，加入了两轮车辆快捷路线和更准确的预计到达时间，以提供最佳路线。

最后，Waze 现在将根据用户的过往行程以及其自身关于本地交通模式的数据来建议路线。因此，如果你偏好高速公路而非本地道路，Waze 会确保你首先看到这些路线选项。

到目前为止，谷歌尚未对 Waze 进行全面的 AI 改造。然而，谷歌地图一直在获得更多：/news/813588/google-maps-gemini-ai-chatbot-navigation-directions 以及更多 AI 驱动的功能：/tech/893262/google-maps-gemini-ai-ask-maps-immersive-navigation，这显示出这家科技巨头似乎在对其旗舰导航工具施加更大的控制力。

Waze is getting an AI makeover. Google is integrating its flagship AI assistant, Gemini, into the driving app with the goal of letting users personalize their trips a little more.

Of the four new updates, only two are being described as involving Gemini. Waze says its updating its conversation reporting feature, first introduced in 2024：/2024/10/31/24284037/waze-report-incidents-voice, to allow drivers to use conversational voice commands to report traffic incidents and suggest map updates, like a road closure or outdated house number. In addition, Waze introduced Destination Search, enabling drivers to use (again) use conversation voice commands (e.g., “Find me a coffee shop that’s open right now” or “Find me a gas station nearby with the lowest prices”) to find a destination.

This makes sense, given how much better conversational voice interactions have gotten with AI. For its non-AI features, Waze is allowing users to adjust to a “less chatty” mode for voice prompts so drivers don’t have to sacrifice their music or podcast listening while using the app’s driving directions. Waze is also getting a Motorcycle Mode that incorporates two-wheeled shortcuts and more accurate ETAs for the best possible routing.

And lastly, Waze will now suggest routes based on a user’s past trips and using its own data about local traffic patters. So if you prefer highways over local roads, Waze will make sure you see those routing options first.

So far, Google has held off on giving Waze a full AI revamp. Google Maps, however, has been getting more：/news/813588/google-maps-gemini-ai-chatbot-navigation-directions and more AI-powered capabilities：/tech/893262/google-maps-gemini-ai-ask-maps-immersive-navigation, as the tech giant seemingly exerts greater control over its flagship navigation tool.
