Google has confirmed that it intends to shut down stand-alone Android Auto for Phone Screens applications with the release of Android 12. Instead, you can use the Drive mode in Google Assistant, which can be activated through Google Maps or in its own Android Auto interface, which applies to some models.

"Google Assistant driving mode is the next evolution of our mobile driving experience. For those who use Android Auto in supported vehicles, this experience will not disappear. For those who use the mobile experience, they will transition to Google Assistant driving mode."

"starting with Android 12, Google Assistant driving mode will become a built-in mobile driving experience. We don't have any more details to share at the moment." Google said in a statement. For owners of Android Auto-compatible cars, nothing will change, the developers say.

Members of the XDA developer community first noticed these changes. In some cases, when you start an Android Auto for Phone Screens application, the system refuses to work in this mode and displays a message indicating that the appropriate Google Assistant mode is required. In addition, according to 9to5Google, Android Auto for Phone Screens apps are generally not compatible with Pixel smartphones running Android 12.

This step has been expected since the release of Android 10; when most of the features of Android Auto are brought to the level of integration into the system. Google announced plans to make Google Assistant the primary tool for drivers as early as 2019, but the full functionality of the app was not yet available, so the company needed to release Android Auto for Phone Screens as an interim measure.
