I changed one Android Auto setting, and I don't miss the bottom taskbar at all now
Toggling Quick Controls no longer moves the taskbar with every vehicle.
Recent reports are surfacing on Reddit about Android Auto users experiencing disappearance of the Google Maps speedometer feature, along with real-time traffic data on the map. This issue surfaced recently and is reported to be intermittent, affecting some users but not others. Observations suggest the problem may be tied to specific Android or app versions, as well as switching between beta versions of Android Auto and Google Maps.
The speedometer's appearance is inconsistent, sometimes appearing for some family members' phones but not for others. Additionally, stop signs and traffic signals seem to be affected by the same bug. Despite these issues, Google hasn't officially acknowledged a problem as of yet.
