Recently, Google also seeded the first public beta of the much-awaited Android Auto Coolwalk update. The update gives us the first glimpse at the new in-car UI that the company showcased at the Google I/O keynote.
The update is currently available only for beta users. Unfortunately, the beta program for Android Auto is currently full. So, you’ll have to wait for the company to rollout the update to the stable version.
