TL;DR
- Google is rolling out the ability to change your Google Maps driving avatar directly from the Android Auto dashboard.
- The new “Driving avatar” option lets you choose a vehicle icon and change its color without reaching for your phone.
- We’ve spotted the feature on two devices running Android Auto 17.8.163744 and Google Maps 26.38.01.
