Like others have described, the assistant has become less and less functional over time. When I drive, I say "hey Google"and ask it a command. It pops up, listens, acknowledges my response, then does nothing. this happens in my car, on my phone, outside of driving. I have also experienced the "unlock device first" issue. Google used to have a great ecosystem and apps, but you can't live in a house where the manager comes in and keeps changing your furniture (and your locks).

Completely useless since recent update. Saying "go home" used to start a Google Maps journey to my configured home address. Now it just opens a Google search for the term "go home". Radio opens in the wrong app and no way to override. Requesting a famous song on Spotify often results in an obscure cover rather than the original.

Constantly misunderstands me so I have to repeat myself, and extremely frustrating that 3rd party list support has been dropped. I used this all the time while driving to add things to my todo list. Can't even change the voice assistant in android auto to an open one that does support them. I assume it's a way to get people using more google services and devices, but I won't be locked in, especially when it is so bad.
