Throughout Android Auto’s history, the interface for when the assistant is listening or responding to us has changed through iterations such as a top panel, a pop-up window, or, most commonly today, the integration in the bar (or a small pop-up window, when the bar is vertical).

Now Google is testing a new design for the assistant in Android Auto, a ball that pops up while waiting for your response. Similar to Siri Ball This is evident despite the design being more minimalist and featuring Google colors.

The new design looks set to roll out to all users, so if you keep your Android Auto up to date you should see it.
