There are things we don’t understand about Android Auto, but the feeling is mutual: Android Auto also doesn’t understand what we say to it. At least when it comes to users who encounter an annoying bug in Google Assistant on Android Auto.

Latest Android Auto error causes Google Assistant never understands us on Android AutoIt makes it almost impossible to use the system because it is the only way that allows us to perform many tasks while the vehicle is running.

Android Auto doesn’t understand you

Android Auto is a little hard to hear in some cars and produces an audible response. “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand you.” The same commands work correctly if we ask on the mobile phone, not on Android Auto, with the mobile phone connected to the vehicle.

Many users on Reddit and the Android Auto support forums are complaining about this issue, and they don’t seem to have much in common beyond suffering from the same bug: Some have Pixel phones, some have Samsung phones.

The error means that no matter what you ask Assistant in Android Auto, it doesn’t understand you. What causes this error It is very difficult to use Android Auto while the vehicle is runningbecause many actions depend solely on voice and typing, for example, with a virtual keyboard is not possible.

The worst thing is that classical solutions clear cache and data not workingSo much so that there are users who claim to have been experiencing this error for months. The only consolation is that at least the bug doesn’t seem to be widespread right now. We hope Google will fix this with a later update to Android Auto or the Google app, as it did recently with the bottom bar disappearing.
