According to a statement from Google, the company has now developed a driving mode for its Google Assistant which it calls the “next evolution of the mobile driving experience.” Reassuring drivers that supported vehicles will still have access to the onboard Android Auto software, Google explains that those using the phone app will be transitioned over to the new mode starting with Android 12.

Users with Android Auto compatible cars would face no issues in usage. Android has recently updated the Android Auto interface to take on its arch-rival, Apple Car Play. Many affordable cars like the Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and Hyundai Venue have started offering wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play functionality so that you don’t have to carry a cable every time. The company hasn’t shared any more details about the new feature just yet, but those who have yet to upgrade to the new Android version will still be able to run Android Auto, at least for the time being.
