What’s happened? Waze just teamed up with SEGA to bring Sonic the Hedgehog to your dashboard. Starting this week, users can swap their usual navigation voice for the Blue Blur himself, complete with energetic lines like “Let’s roll!” and “Watch out for loop-de-loops!”
This is is important because: The new update is a smart crossover between gaming nostalgia and everyday tech.
Why should I care? Let’s be real, GPS directions can get boring. With this collaboration, Sonic can hype up your daily commute.
So next time you’re stuck in traffic, let Sonic take the wheel (well, metaphorically). It might not get you there faster, but it’ll definitely make the ride feel like a power-up. If you are a new user, here’s a guide to navigate Waze app.
