Everyone has long been aware that Google has been testing a beta version of its own Android Auto system for a long time. However, literally until yesterday, it was almost impossible to join her. All those who have tried to participate in this program up to this time, often received an error message, which said that "the beta testing program is exhausted."
However, to the general happiness of motorists, this is no longer the case. The thing is that Google is very actively involved in expanding the above program, now providing absolutely anyone who has a device based on the Android operating system, as well as a willingness to accept possible errors in a raw product, the ability to test the latest platform functions before they become publicly available. “As a beta tester, you can help us create the best version of Android Auto. You can check how well the new features work with your specific smartphone and vehicle in your specific part of the world.
When you share your feedback, we'll use it to help plan improvements for future releases, ”says Google's latest post on the initiative on its support page. It should be noted that you can join the program simply by visiting Google's own beta sign-up page. All you need to do is click on the "Become a Tester" button and then download the beta version of Android Auto from the Play Store. And in the very event, if you eventually decide that using unstable software is not what you want, then you can exit the beta program at any time.
Nobody will oblige you to “work for Google” after you agree to participate. And as the tech giant is getting closer and closer to the point where the new Android 12 operating system is fully released, the company most likely wants to avoid repeating last year's Android 11 release by testing as many innovations as possible that will be present in the new OS. And while the operating system as a whole had various troublesome problems at the time of release, Android Auto suffered from some, especially gross bugs. For example, initially there were a lot of problems with sound and not only. Therefore, the expansion of testing Android Auto will be beneficial primarily to Google itself.
