If there is anything, it is sadder than "Chrome downloader IE cannot be used" being officially decommissioned. Probably because many people love to use it, but still because of Google's policy, Android Auto will "only be available in the future" "Vehicle screen use" fate, and worry about whether one day it will really not be able to be used on mobile phone screens.
And if you haven't found an alternative and continue to use the mobile version of Android Auto so far. Well, now there is There is good news and bad news waiting for you – the good news is that your wait is finally over, the bad news is that Google has not changed its mind to end it (QQ).

The mobile version of Android Auto has stopped serving and is officially buried in the grave by Google
Whether you want to say that Android Auto is already "car-only" or it is "No longer supports mobile phone screens" will do. In short, it is confirmed that the Android Auto mobile system experience will be replaced by Google Assistant Driving Mode. After the preview started on many people's mobile phones in August last year, it is now confirmed that it will officially end on mobile phones. On-screen function support will only be available on the central control screen of the vehicle in the future.
Compared with some services that may really be gathering dust and be forced to retire. In cars that support Android Auto Before mobile phones became popular, I would say that it was because drivers around the world were able to try the in-vehicle system experience from Google early through mobile phone screens, which made this system more accepted by users around the world and developed into an independent system. "I think" it should be It’s not an exaggeration – although there is no data to support it, it’s just... just based on the development timeline (I’ll just mention it).
Google’s experience with in-vehicle systems has evolved from having to rely on mobile devices to being independent. The Android Automotive OS system running on it. Last year, Google not only began to target mobile devices with the new version of Android 12 system, but also ended Android Auto mobile screen support early. Nearly a year later, Google still has not provided further communication and explanation. Last week, it further ended support for this simplified car interface for devices below Android 11.
Seriously, even foreign media think the new Google Assistant Driving Mode is not bad. But The experience it provides is considered to be biased toward another in-car system interface rather than a direct replacement for Android Auto. Some comments also feel that this is not the replacement that people who originally used Android Auto on their mobile screens would want. But now it seems that the fate of many Google services that have been buried in the grave is very close. Now that you have been provided with alternatives instead of services like Google+ disappearing completely, maybe this is Google's explanation to users?
I just hope that the car version of Android Auto can last longer (oh, it won’t be used in the end? No way...).
