Android Auto has been waiting on a redesign for the past several months, but it seems that Google’s timeline on the update has slipped.

Then, in May 2022, Google officially announced this new Android Auto redesign.

Google explicitly stated that this redesign to Android Auto would arrive “this summer” in a blog post from May 2022.

But as of September 26, 2022, the Android Auto redesign is still unavailable, at least officially, to users in stable or beta update channels.

The last time Google announced an Android Auto update at I/O with a “summer” timeline, the company lived up to that promise with a few weeks to spare.

Late last week, one user with a rooted Android smartphone noticed that an update to either the platform or the Spotify app had unlocked new functionality for the music widget.

We asked Google if there is an updated timeline for releasing Android Auto’s “Coolwalk” redesign to the public, but the company had no updates to share at this time.

Android Auto is an extension of the Android platform which is highly optimized for use in a moving vehicle
