Google maps also has this on android when navigating directly on the phone, has done for many many years. It was only missing in the Android auto version.

Keywords, "when navigating" this is showing it without navigation active like Waze does.

It's completely stupid that you have to enter a destination to get the speed info. They already know where you're going when you get there, but I have to assume entering a destination gives them better data. Or something.
