Fiddling with your phone while driving is just asking to get into a situation you don’t want to be in. Which is why an experience like Android Auto is an absolute must to have in your car if you’re someone who is always on the road. And while you can tap and touch the screen in order to get things done, the real power comes with the ability to use voice commands.
However, that apparently isn’t the case for some people, as there are plenty of users chiming in on Reddit with complaints that their Android Auto experience isn’t going as smoothly as it should be, with the software refusing to accept voice commands (via 9to5Google). It’s unclear what is causing it at this point, but if this is something you’re seeing, you’re not alone.
