Earlier this year, Google had shown off an entirely new UI for the upcoming Android Auto. Without a doubt, the new, streamlined UI looks pretty interesting. Incorporating a new multi-column design into the new design also significantly improves usability. Google had previously stated that the new UI would be made available to the public in the summer of 2022, but the company was unable to fulfil this promise. The IT giant has finally begun releasing the update, though, so that’s good news.

Speaking of Android Auto’s new updated user interface, it delivers a new simple, minimalist, and streamlined UI. As it features a split-screen UI that displays numerous widgets depending on the screen size and aspect ratio, Google has also incorporated an Auto redesign function that enables the UI to adopt all types of screens; portrait, landscape, and ultrawide. The new UI map has also been improved for the driver’s accessibility. The new app dock, which is quite similar to the app dock in Android 12L, is persistent and makes switching between apps simpler.

The multimedia card can now dynamically change in size. A more elegant design has been added to it. Google has also mentioned Android Auto’s compatibility with the Material You colour theme. By pressing the clock area, you can now access the status symbols and notifications in one convenient location. One swipe will access Google Assistant’s recommendations for music and media. So, here is how Android Auto’s freshly updated user interface appears.

However, the upgrade is currently only available to those who have signed up for the public beta, so if you are not one of them, you will be unable to enjoy the new user interface right now. But given that the system’s stable release comes after the public beta rollout, we can expect the full stable rollout to occur in the coming weeks. Google presently has no official words for it.
