This Android Auto update is trying to change how you drive and use your car

Google is overhauling Android Auto with a new Material 3 Expressive design and widget support.

The update is set to improve navigation with richer Google Maps visuals and more glanceable in-car info.

Selected vehicles may get parked-car video playback, plus spatial audio support such as Dolby Atmos.

Gemini-powered voice features could bring smarter help for tasks, questions, and connected services like smart home controls.
