Android Auto tests Quick Settings and hilarious ‘Jimothy’ weather Easter egg [Gallery]

Google is currently testing new features for Android Auto, with one appearing more likely to be released than the other. The key development is the implementation of Quick Settings tiles in the car UI, as hinted by strings pointing to a "Do Not Disturb" tile. This suggests a potential future addition, as the feature can be manually activated and shown in the notification tray.

However, a second test, involving the "Jimothy" Easter egg, seems more like a humorous throwaway. A flag for "Jimothy mode" displays the viral raccoon with weather animations, showing temperature and conditions on top of the music widget. While amusing, the meme's relevance has likely waned, making its release unlikely. The article also suggests that Google should implement "Froggy" weather data in Android Auto, as it could provide a consistent and fitting way to show weather information on the platform.
