Google Knows You Better Than You

Google’s AI-driven tools are making life easier — but also more predictive, personal, and invasive. As search evolves, it’s worth asking: are we in control, or just along for the algorithm?

Recently, several stability and display issues have been causing frustration for Android Auto users. Google is now responding with updated software intended to fix the problems – or at least some of them.

Android Auto: Everything the Update Fixes

Google Pixel 10 users in particular seem to benefit from the latest version 15.2 update. The update fixes the annoying issue with gray screens appearing when connecting your smartphone to Android Auto, as Auto Evolution reports. This bug made it impossible for many users to use the application.

Additionally, audio controls have been improved for all users. Now, you can fast-forward and rewind music problem-free and without ever having to use your phone. Google has also updated the Assistant to the Gemini AI, which promises enhanced voice features.

These Problems Remain Unresolved

While users will likely be happy about these problems being fixed, some issues remain on the waiting list. According to the German Caschys Blog, the connection problems with the Samsung Galaxy S25 series have yet to be resolved. What’s also particularly frustrating for Google Pixel 10 users is that while the gray screen is gone, connection problems and disconnects persist for these models.

The missing sidebar in the TomTom app also joins the list of unresolved issues. On top of that, there are occasional error messages from Google Assistant. Overall, there’s still quite a bit of work to be done.

How to Install the Update

While the updated Android Auto software seems more like a temporary fix before a larger update arrives to squash all the other bugs, it does resolve several issues. For those who don’t want to miss out, the update is being rolled out through the Google Play Store. You can get it automatically or install it manually using the update button.
