Android Automotive users can now report incidents on the go

It's only been a few weeks since an Android Auto user first reported having the incident reporting feature in Google Maps. The feature has since been rolled out across Android Auto in the US. But what about Android Automotive? It looks like incident reporting is now also available on the in-car operating system.

The ability to report incidents such as accidents, traffic jams, lane closures, etc. has been available in Google Maps for several years. However, until now this feature was limited to mobile devices. It was added to Apple's CarPlay in-car system in July, but was missing from Android Auto and Automotive. But since last week, incident reporting on Android Auto has become widespread.

Just like with “Auto”, the function in “Automotive” can be accessed by tapping on the triangular yellow danger symbol. This will display the Add Report menu where you can select the relevant incident to report. However, there seems to be a limitation that you can only submit one report per street.
