US comedian Kevin Hart is the first celebrity as Waze teams with Universal Studios.
On Saturday, Waze Ltd. released on its YouTube channel a cute upgrade: users can download the voices of celebrities to offer driving directions, instead of the anonymous male or female voices. Imagine, if you will, Jim Carrey or Scarlett Johansson telling you were to go.
US comedian Kevin Hart is the first celebrity. He is promoting his new movie, "Ride Along" is contributing his voice to Waze as part of a collaboration with Universal Studios. It is not known if Hart will be joined by other stars of future Universal Studios' movies.
If you want to download Hart's voice, update the latest Waze version, go to definitions and select voice. From this page, it is possible to choose "voice instructions" - a list of options, of which Hart is the first. If you want an amusing ride and don’t mind receiving instructions in English, you can try the new feature.
