While Gemini is expected to provide users with even greater access to natural voice commands, it appears that Android Auto has encountered a rather irritating issue in recent weeks, with users turning to Reddit and various online forums to voice their frustration over a particularly troublesome bug that activates whenever they attempt to utilize voice commands in Google’s rival to Apple CarPlay.
Although some Reddit users expressing their grievances noted that the problem started only a few days ago, reports of non-functional voice commands in Android Auto have been observed as far back as January 2025. Whether those earlier complications are linked to the same origin as this recent wave is doubtful.

This suggests that an immediate fix may not be forthcoming. However, some community members have unearthed a few temporary solutions to mitigate the problem.
