The user can reply easily using the Google Assistant on Android Auto. In the current versions, the Google Assistant can read a text aloud and then asks for input via voice. For generic messages, Google Assistant will now be able to provide simple replies.
The user will also have the ability to create a custom message.

Users can also listen to their favorite music with a single tap of the new always-on play button on the Home screen.

Additionally, the company soon plans to launch a feature where the user will be able to use their voice to search for music faster in media apps on Android Auto. Just tap the new search icon and say your favorite artist or song for easy listening.

Google has also introduced a new feature called Family Bell. This feature helps you and your family stay on track with your daily schedules, wherever you may be. Whether you set up Family Bell on your Android phone, home speaker or smart display, bells and notifications will alert you and your family when it’s time for important moments throughout the day.
