Android Auto v13.5 Beta Expands Vehicle Support
The latest Android Auto update (v13.5 beta) broadens compatibility beyond cars to include other vehicles like motorcycles. This addresses a long-standing oversight in the app's terminology, replacing instances of "car" with "vehicle."
Key Changes:
- Terminology updated to "vehicle" to encompass broader compatibility.
- New icons and assets for motorcycles and brands like Geely, Leap Motor, Fiat, and Lucid Motors.
- Available now for beta users via the Play Store.
The inclusion of Lucid Motors assets suggests imminent Android Auto support for the Lucid Air, previously announced for late 2024. This update also lays the groundwork for future enhancements to "Car Media" and other in-development features.
