Google Announces Major Android Auto Update with New Design

Google has just announced a major update for Android Auto that would introduce a completely new design specifically implemented to make controlling apps faster and easier.
 
First and foremost, Google says that beginning with this update, Android Auto will remember your settings and apps, so when starting your car, it will just begin playing your media and fire up the navigation app that you use.
 
This is particularly helpful if you use Waze instead of Google Maps and listen to streaming services like Deezer or Spotify, so you get a more personalized experience without a single touch. Android Auto will let you easily start the navigation to a specific destination by tapping a suggested location or saying “Hey Google.”
 
The new Android Auto version also introduces a redesigned navigation bar that will display turn-by-turn directions, while also providing quick access to app and phone controls. This way, you can perform certain tasks faster, without the need for opening each app individually.
 
“With the new navigation bar, you'll be able to easily control your apps with one tap. Get turn-by-turn directions, rewind your podcast or take incoming call all on the same screen,” Google explains.
