Google Maps on Android Auto finally gets up to speed with this Waze feature

Credit: Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR T Google Maps is starting to roll out a live speedometer for Android Auto users, bridging a long-standing feature gap, as the feature already existed on iOS, Android phones, and CarPlay. The floating icon displays the current speed next to the posted speed limit, turning yellow or red if a driver exceeds it. The feature currently appears to be in a limited rollout through the Google Maps beta and a server-side switch.
