Waze, the Google-owned traffic and navigation app, announced Wednesday a partnership with comedian Hasan Minhaj, who will be the newest personal navigator, entertaining users with relatable commentary on traffic, self-deprecating jokes and other funny insights about driving.
Waze is also launching new digital icons that appear on the Waze map. For instance, users can get a “suburban dad” Minivan icon, which represents Minhaj’s status as a father, and a Hasan-inspired “Mood” icon, which is how drivers (aka Wazers) appear on the map. Once enabled, users can navigate the road in “suburban dad energy” fashion.
To access the feature, go to “Customize your drive” in the menu and select Hasan Minhaj. While the new driving experience is globally available, the voice directions are only available in English.
