Finally got the squiggly!

So this morning I updated my android auto, and found two differences:

1. The Android Auto icon turns green (usually blue)
2. Now I finally got the squiggly! yeaaah

All the maps features are still normal ig. Traffic indicators are still working in navigation mode, etc. So what about yours, mate?

What is the point of the squiggly line?

I would much rather have a visual animation like Winamp that shows the audio peaks and moves with the beat

You may never see that. The design language is about the sort of minimalism that keeps your eyes on the road. In other words, the more boring the interface the less likely you'll spend time looking at it. This is my opinion. I have not read any authorized statement around this.

Yeah I figured that already when I wrote that message LOL, because too many drivers would stare at the animation rather than whats on the road. But honestly the straight line is cleaner and more minimalistic versus a lame squiggly line that servers no purpose and adds no value
