Google Assistant stops working in Android Auto by mistake: what happened

Among the multiple versions of Android available in Spain, Android Auto is one of the most important in recent years, to such an extent that it is even receiving an improved version known as Android Automotive. The current version is dependent on our mobile, and sometimes it is also affected by some specific updates.

The last one is a problem with Google Assistant, and it seems that in the Android Auto 5.7 update, when we use the voice assistant, there are high chances that the assistant does not respond.

Google Assistant breaks into Android Auto, no one is behind the wheel

Surely, if you are a Google Assistant user with a Google Home or a watch with Wear OS, you may have noticed that Google Assistant sometimes ignores our requests and pretends that it has not understood us. This error, which is more common than we would like, can be a nuisance at home, but in the car it can be fatal, and that is that driving and having the assistant playing crazy when asking for navigation directions has everything, less grace.

This is how the messages are being in the Google help forums.

This has been reported by several users in Google forums, indicating that since the last update they have been unable to use the assistant when using Android Auto. Speaking and using the activation word they have failed to summon the wizard.

The solution? Well do what you have to do using the touch screen,but avoid fiddling while driving and try to stop the car sooner. If Android Auto has not yet been updated to that version, you can also disable automatic updates or go back to a previous version of the application.

Although Google has not yet spoken, it is to be expected that a correction for this error will appear in the next few hours, so be patient.
