Google Rolls Out Android Auto 14.5 To More Vehicles

Google has begun a broader rollout of Android Auto version 14.5 to a wider range of users, following the earlier release of version 14.4 earlier this month. The update is part of Google’s continued effort to refine the in-car platform, but it does not introduce any major new features.

According to Google’s official release notes, version 14.5 is primarily focused on bug fixes. It addresses specific issues that may have impacted the performance or stability of the system for some users. Although the update improves the overall experience, it does not include visible enhancements or new functionality.

To receive the update, users must install it through the Google Play Store. Android Auto updates are typically delivered incrementally, so availability may vary depending on the device and vehicle compatibility.

In addition to the release of version 14.5, Google is also testing upcoming versions 14.6 and 14.7. Both are currently in beta and are expected to be released to the public in the coming days or weeks. These updates are also assumed to focus on performance improvements and minor adjustments, rather than significant changes.

It’s worth pointing out that none of the current Android Auto versions (including 14.5, 14.6, or 14.7) incorporate Google’s AI assistant, Gemini. However, the integration of Gemini into Android Auto is anticipated in the near future. Once introduced, Gemini could bring smarter voice interaction and context-aware suggestions to the in-car experience.

Summing it up, Android Auto 14.5 is being gradually rolled out, providing bug fixes and stability improvements without adding new features. Google is also preparing for future releases with beta versions 14.6 and 14.7. While users will not see any major changes for now, more impactful updates — including the expected integration of Gemini — may be on the horizon.
