- Incident reporting in Google Maps is rolling out to Android Automotive.
- This rollout on Android Automotive follows shortly after the feature arrived on Android Auto.
It has been only a couple of weeks since an Android Auto user first reported having the incident reporting feature in Google Maps. Since then, the feature has started rolling out widely to Android Auto in the US. But what about Android Automotive? It looks like incident reporting is now arriving on the in-car OS as well.
The ability to report incidents — like crashes, slowdowns, lane closures, and more — has existed in Google Maps for a few years now. However, it was previously a feature that was limited to mobile. It was added to Apple’s CarPlay in-car system in July, but remained absent from Android Auto and Automotive. But as of last week, incident reporting has started to roll out widely on Android Auto.
