  "account": "Google Maps may soon offer enhanced previews of destinations before users begin their journeys through Android Auto, according to recent leaks. The redesigned destination card would feature scrollable photos, an Overview, contact details, and other pertinent information about the location. The unfinished interface was tested in Android Auto version 17.8, though Google may modify or discontinue it before its official release. Google has been working on enhancing Android Auto's functionality while minimizing driver reliance on their phones. Recent discoveries indicate Android Auto could receive its own Quick Settings tiles, and a previous teardown suggested the system could allow drivers to manage phone alarms directly on the car display. This new upgrade would provide Google Maps with a more comprehensive preview of destinations before navigation begins.",
