As an Android Auto user, we have experienced the benefits of wireless connectivity, which minimizes cable-related connection issues. However, despite these advantages, the platform continues to face growing bugs, with users reporting persistent glitches, particularly concerning phone calls.
Recent reports highlight an issue affecting Google Pixel devices on Android Auto, where phone call audio is either absent or routed to the mobile device instead of the car’s speakers. This disrupts the hands-free calling experience, undermining the platform’s convenience and safety features.
The lack of audio during calls poses significant risks for drivers, who may resort to unsafe methods to restore sound, such as toggling between phone speakers and Bluetooth connections.
Despite attempts to address the issue, including disconnecting from Android Auto, users continue to encounter difficulties, with Google yet to acknowledge or resolve the problem.
The persistence of this bug underscores the need for prompt investigation and resolution by Google, as it compromises the functionality and safety of Android Auto, affecting users across different Android versions and device models.
