Google rolls out fix for Android Auto music auto-playing at car start
Key points
- Google has confirmed a fix is rolling out for an Android Auto bug.
- The bug makes music briefly auto-play when the car starts.
- It happens even when autoplay is turned off.
- The fix is rolling out now, so it may not have reached every user yet.
Summary
(AI)
Google itself confirmed the fix, as reported by 9to5Google on October 7. The two later reports, from T3 and Pocket-lint on October 9, repeat that news. They add no further detail in the text we have.
T3 describes the bug as one that has been broken for a long time. The coverage does not say when it first appeared or which versions are affected. It also gives no release date or version number for the fix. The wording that the bug will “soon” be gone suggests a staged rollout.
