Waze, of course, is the popular community-powered navigation app. In the past, the company has attracted such big names as Arnold Schwarzenegger (awesomely performing as the Terminator) and Stephen Colbert.
If you’ve ever wanted to be addressed as the U.S. President-and have one of Hollywood’s most iconic voices narrate your morning commute-your time has come.
In character as the V.P., Freeman speaks to the driver as though you’re the president. But he threw a little urgency into his directions, because he’s Morgan Freeman, and he can do what he wants.
The only thing that would make this news better would be the assurance that we could arrive at our destination and get to hear Freeman paint a picture befitting a lifelong dream of visiting Zihuatanejo. For some added flair and drama, the commands from Freeman include urgent quotes su as “The time has arrived, President Wazer. It’s been my honor and duty to see you through this mission”.
