Now, Android has gone through many incarnations, moving beyond what Google imagined and was officially supported. Not all Android -based variants were created the same, of course, and some were seen and felt smoother than others. Unfortunately, it also applies to Google’s Android spin-off itself, some of which seem to be abandoned on the roadside. Whether it’s Android TV, Wear OS, or Android Auto, there seems to be some doubts left about Google’s long -term commitment for this platform. Which said, Android TV breathed fresh air with the experience of a new Google TV, and Wear OS experienced a resurrection. It makes Android Auto as strange, which is very clear in its latest main release.
Android Auto, which is related but different from Android Automotive, is the simplest way to connect your cellphone to a compatible car head unit. Either through a USB cable or a wireless connection, you can use the navigation and entertainment applications on your smartphone without having to bother with the small screen. Unfortunately, Android Auto has a rather bad history in terms of reliability and stability, especially when Google encourages changes that take weeks to fix them.
Initially, it seems that Google allowed Android Auto to misery as a substitute for focus on Android Automotive. However, a few months ago, the company triggered the hope that the car platform would eventually get decent attention. With the release of version 8.0 applications, people will assume that it will be a big update that carries the promised new features. Unfortunately, it cannot be further than the truth.
Android Auto ambiguity leaves users frustrated
In short, Android Auto 8.0 is no more than your usual bug repair, according to Android Police. On the one hand, that’s a good thing, considering how unstable this platform has been lately. On the other hand, it does not deserve to get the release of “Point-Oh” if that’s the only one he contains. Another number in the 7.X series may be less confusing and disappointing.
Auto Android fans and users may be the most disappointed with how the most interesting changes in UI Google are still missing in action. After leaking last year, the screen feature separately with the COOLLWARK code name was officially confirmed on I/O May. This might sound like nitpicking for such a small feature, but this is a platform health barometer when something basic like a separate screen has not succeeded to Android Auto. Admittedly, it can happen through changes in the server side, but it seems that there is no indication that occurs in this special version 8.0.
Making a worse situation, 9to5google reports other breakthrough updates, this time in the form of a Maintenance release 7.8.6. The owner of several telephone brands, including pixels, reports to get a “uncomfortable” error message when trying to use Android Auto after an update. Given the state of the platform for the past two years, the arrival of this bug was not too surprising. Unfortunately, this also shows how much work Google still has to do to prevent Android Auto from laughing in the automotive industry.
