Google Rolls Out Android Auto 17.6 With Redesigned Green Icon

Summary
Android Auto 17.6 marks the first full switch to Google’s redesigned green icon, replacing the older blue logo used in earlier versions.
Google has already updated the official Android Auto website and a Gemini integration video thumbnail to match, while the app’s wordmark also gets a slight refresh.
On devices, the new look remains hard to spot: some notifications still show a blue alternate icon, and the green logo appears most consistently in the app switcher for Android Auto settings.
That settings menu now also uses a green accent color, signaling a broader but still subtle visual refresh rather than a major feature change.
