Hi Wazingdriver,
Firstly, are you sure the Waze app has permission to use you microphone? Does the app reply to you or nothing happens?
If not, you will have to go into the “app settings & allow access to microphone”
Secondly after confirming the first step, there are specific commands that Waze will respond to.

“Take me home”
“Drive to work”
“Navigate to” and then say the name of a business or address
“Find gas stations”
“Find restaurants”
“Find parking”
“Stop navigation”

“Show route overview”
“Show turn by turn directions”
“Recenter the map”

“What’s my ETA?”
Let us know if these help so we can fix it for you.
It does not work. IN waze settings in google assistance section it is even written an example - what is my ETA? When I press the mic button and I ask what is my ETA, it gives me oxford dictionary meaning of ETA. When I say “report traffic”, it says that it is am moderate traffic somewhere in amazon or something.
Pixel 8 Pro.
The same with me, been trying everything, but when the app is open and I give a voice command, it will go to google search.
I say “Report Traffic”, and the assistant opens and tells me how much traffic there is in my location.

SIRI commands are not working 
I can confirm the voice command is completely broken but I doubt Google is going to do anything about it because knowing Google they won’t fix it until one of their engineer encounters this issue personally.
What if it’s more about the challenge of interrupting CarPlay and Siri’s hold on things? I’m willing to bet this is more of an issue with Apple trying to keep everything internal to Apple rather than being able to easily pass the data from Siri to Waze.
I have the same issues guy’s IOS 17.6,
but what i have worked out…is if you press the microphone icon on the screen, then go back out to maps, then press microphone icon again, it will then work, or that’s how it’s been working for me at least
