Android Auto 18.0 update starts rolling out, continues to gear up for redesign

Google is rolling out the Android Auto 18.0 update in beta, continuing preparations for its next redesign, rumored to be codenamed "Cielo." While the update offers no new user-facing features, it likely includes bug fixes. The term "cielo_launcher" was spotted in the update's assets, potentially indicating the codename for the upcoming redesign.
This follows previous codenames like "Coolwalk" used for Android Auto's dashboard redesign in 2023. The term "Cielo" is an Italian and Spanish word meaning "sky," though its significance remains unclear. Android Auto 18.0 builds upon the redesign, but there's no concrete evidence of an imminent launch. The update also includes themes for light and dark modes, but the actual debut of these features remains uncertain.
