Several forum reports indicate about Google Maps crashing in Android Auto. Luckily, the rest of the Android Auto experience works. Launching Google Maps is what seems to be an issue right now. However, the app on phones is fully functional.
It seems that Google Maps for Android beta version 11.132.0100 is the culprit. This version was released on June 3. The issue impacts Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and other Android phones, and we expect Google to issue a patch to fix it shorty.

This bug seems annoying but at the same time, beta versions are still versions in development and I find it understandable that they might not work as expected. After all, that’s a risk all users on beta should be well aware of. Getting to see cool features before they’re officially launched comes with this trade-off, usually.
