Just say, \u201cHey Google, let\u2019s drive,\u201d or open Drive Mode in Google Maps. From here, you\u2019ll get the Android Auto-like experience on your phone. While this isn\u2019t new, the mode is getting a new and improved dashboard that\u2019ll help drivers keep their hands on the wheel.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98639 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/dc5b7348.jpg\" alt=\"Google Assistant Driving Mode\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Google\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Google added cards that are easy to glance at, open with one tap, and there\u2019s no more scrolling.

Plus, Google added a new auto-read function, where you could say, \u201cHey Google, turn on auto read,\u201d and it\u2019ll automatically read incoming messages aloud. Basically, Driving Mode is getting many of the great features from Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p>Driving mode will be the primary experience for Android phones from now on. It will fully roll out in the next few weeks for Android phones in English (U.S., Australia, Canada, Ireland, India, Singapore and U.K.), German, Spanish (Spain, Mexico), French and Italian.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_Which_App_Launches_When_You_Open_Android_Auto\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Set Which App Launches When You Open Android Auto<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Android Auto is getting a bunch of new features, too, including the ability to set which app automatically opens when Android Auto starts.
