Android Auto horizonatal layout is horrible
The latest update made it far worse than it was before:
1. Can not start planned drives from Android Auto at all (WTAF?)
2. The default focus (when not using touchscreen in a car, but a wheel to navigate on the screen) is always in the wrong and illogical spot.
3. Alerts cover your current location which is annoying - and the current location is not centered on the screen (horizontal layout).
4. The current speed can also be covered with other screen elements when not navigating just viewing the map
5. Too much clutter and unnecessary bubble buttons on the screen all the time taking up too much space
...
Seriously, has ANYONE tested this update before releasing it, because it sure doesn't look like it??

This issue has been brought up in other suggestions so voting seems low, but its the same problem. Horizontal mode alert bubbles are immense, mostly empty and extremely intrusive, making visual usage of the app impossible. The only remedies, are flipping the phone vertical, constantly tapping the screen to remove the alert, which is distracting and useless, or to disable all alerts, which is not a reasonable solution.
