Google is rolling out Android Auto 16.1 widely as the latest beta, Android Auto 16.2, hints at what is coming next.
Earlier this month, Google started rolling out Android Auto 16.0 with a new media player design that added a splash of Material 3 Expressive to media apps. The change was widely available, but quickly resulted in a number of users finding that their steering wheel controls had suddenly stopped working.
Later beta releases – Android Auto 16.1 – seem to have fixed the problem, and that’s the version that’s now widely rolling out via the stable track. The update brings no other major changes either, but it does bring back the media player redesign that Google appeared to have rolled back temporarily to avoid the steering wheel issues.
So that’s it for the stable track, but what about the Android Auto beta?
The latest beta release is Android Auto 16.
