Hello all!

We have a car that supports android auto wired (Not wireless) When my dads phone is connected and someone is scrolling true spotify it keeps coming up with a safety break every few seconds or so. Is their some way to disable this without rooting the device he is using a Pixel 7? My phone does not have this issue and i can scroll all day long without it coming up but i am using a P7P with Graphene OS so i suspect it is some kind of permission AA doesn’t have in my case.

I get that the safety break is supposed to be a “feature” to keep your eyes in the road. in practice it does the opposite as you are looking at the screen waiting for it to pass so you can go on with the scrolling.

    That’s the point I’m making, android cannot know who is driving and has to assume it’s the user of the phone because that is the safest assumption. There should be an option to accept liability for using the phone and driving but that may not be legally defensible. Sexy people outside my window should also sign disclaimers because I keep crashing my car looking at them.
