  "account": "Google is currently testing Quick Settings tiles within Android Auto. These tiles, which appear at the top of Android Auto notifications, initially offer just one control for Do Not Disturb mode. However, it is likely that additional controls will be added in the future. Google has previously announced a comprehensive redesign for Android Auto, slated for delivery by the end of the year. The redesign will bring a borderless design that suits various screen shapes, support for widgets, and a media player that does not consume excessive screen space. These enhancements aim to make the Android Auto interface comparable to Apple's CarPlay, and they are anticipated to be rolled out in stages through the latter part of the year. While the major redesign is being developed, Google is simultaneously testing smaller changes, including a new Android Auto icon that was introduced recently. In addition to this, Google is exploring other new features for Android Auto, which have been identified by the author.",
