Android Auto Gets New Design, New Default Dark Mode

With the refresh, Android Auto lets other apps essentially take over a section and allows more controls without the need of switching to anything.

This week, ahead of the I/O developer conference, Google has announced about a new variant of the Android Auto, a smartphone-powered system. It will get a little refresh to become more actionable and more intuitive with fewer taps requiring users to do the things. Besides, the Android Auto is supposed to feature another default theme – in dark mode.

One among all highlights of the new design is nothing but a dynamic menu bar right below it. Prior to this, there were white buttons staying on a dark background. The redesigned bar also supports support for Google Assistant with one tap aso it’s easier to have a reach as well.
