After the release of the last finished Android Auto version, a new beta is now starting again. Unfortunately, Google does not answer all open questions. It’s only been a few days since version 7.8 for Android Auto was released, and Google is already providing us with the next beta.
Of course again without a new or clarifying changelog. At first glance, I couldn’t find any major innovations either. Maybe Google is still preparing the upcoming Coolwalk conversion, which is coming this summer. You can also hope for more bug fixes. These are the current bug fixes:
