The current implementation of the library only allows to switch on the auto drive value when testing navigation apps with the following command:

adb shell dumpsys activity service com.package.MyService AUTO_DRIVE

In order to stop the auto drive mode, right now it is necessary to finish the car app as it is documented in NavigationManager.onAutoDriveEnabled():

Signifies that from this point, until CarContext.finishCarApp() is called, any navigation should automatically start driving to the destination as if the user was moving.
This is used in a testing environment, allowing testing the navigation app's navigation capabilities without being in a car.

Having the possibility of disabling the auto drive mode manually without finishing the app allows developers to test the app in a better way.

Ideally, developers could use a command like the following to stop auto drive:

adb shell dumpsys activity service com.package.MyService STOP_AUTO_DRIVE

Any updates on this? It's been a month already since I reported it, and it seems this crash is occurring quite frequently for my users.

I am still regularly receiving reports about this issue, and it seems it has not been addressed in the latest 1.4.0-rc01 release.
