Google upgrades Android Auto with new look at CES 2023
Android owners, rejoice: Listening to podcasts in your car is about to get a lot easier.
At CES 2023, Google announcedthat a new version of Android Auto would start rolling out immediately. The in-car experience, which automatically pops up on your vehicle’s interior screen when you connect an Android phone to it, is getting a brand new design that should theoretically make life easier for drivers who just can’t get enough of their phones.

There’s also a new quick launcher for frequently used apps and Google has adopted the “Material You” visual design language from Pixel phonesfor the overall aesthetic.
You can also make WhatsApp calls using Pixel and Samsung phones.
Oh, and perhaps most importantly: There’s a progress bar for songs and podcasts now. It seems like a pretty massive oversight that Android Auto didn’t already have that, but hey, progress is progress. And if you share your car with other people, digital key sharing is coming to Samsung and Xiaomi phones this year.
