Is Android Auto always this clunky?

:
Mazda,CX-5 GT
2018 cx5 w/ 74.00.324 firmware (no A suffix displayed), modern Google Pixel 8 w/ Android 15.

About half the time when stopping for gas google maps will resume my route, half the time it forgets (phone stayed plugged in while engine off). Incident reporting features in the phone version of the app are disabled on the infotainment screen. Switching between music and streaming/podcasting apps on the infotainment screen the app will lose what was playing or resume seamlessly, dealers choice. And actually getting from AA to the car radio is a real chore.

I don’t have any experience with AA in other car brands or Apple, is this really as good as it gets?
 
The AA connection would be lost as soon as the engine is off and I assume the usb port is off then too but maybe.
