Android Auto continues to improve version after version, even though we rarely get to see the fruits of those improvements with our own eyes, as they happen behind the scenes. Android Auto 9.1 is one of those versions where we will not see visible changesat least initially.
As usual, we have tested Android Auto 9.1 and we can confirm that none of the Android Auto changes that were recently leaked and are still pending are live after update, such as light mode or Material You interface for app settings. We will have to wait a little longer.

This does not mean that the update is pointless. Unfortunately, Android Auto has quite a few known issues and bugs and the only hope for those who suffer from them on a daily basis is that they will finally a fix is included in the update.
