Arnold Schwarzenegger voices Waze directions so you’ll always be back


Arnold Schwarzenegger voices Waze directions so you’ll always be back

Voice-guided navigation is useful, but sometimes the narrator is a bit too calm when you’re trying to reach a destination in a hurry, or frustrated sitting in traffic.

Waze is looking to add that sense of urgency to your driving by providing voice navigation themed to the tune of the upcoming Terminator Genysis move.

  • “You have reached your destination… hasta la vista, baby!”
  • “Mission accomplished. It has to end here… I’ll be back!”
