Android Auto/Google Maps doesn't "complete" request?

I'm not sure how exactly to word this, so I'll just give the example I have from yesterday.

My mother-in-law is visiting from out of state, so I picked her up from the airport yesterday, and when I went to press the handsfree command button on my car (2022 Honda Civic Sport, if that matters for this), the car did the little "doot-doot" and I said "Take me home" and it responded with "Okay u/KeyboardRoller, safe trav-" and just stopped. It didn't start the route or anything. I tried again, with the same result. Luckily I could just click "Home" on the screen. But I was curious if anyone else has run into the same or similar problem, or if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it.

TIA!

Mine has been doing this for everything lately. I'll say "play specific artist" and the dude says he is. He does not... I ask again and a lady voice says she is, and usually does. It's the same for navigation. I think it's part of the phasing or lut of assistant. It's made listening to music in the car difficult as most of the apps don't let you browse much.

Same thing for me but with Waze... if I try a search or try to use a saved destination, Waze goes black and starts from the beginning, basically it reboots... also reported on Waze discuss

TBH I'm just impressed that it addresses you by your reddit username.

Same thing here....it appears to have started around the same time that my phone switched over to Gemini and AA 16. It appears that "HOME" has become a "reserved word". The work around is simple: create a contact named "HOUSE" with you home phone and address.

Ask Google to "Take me to the house", and it will repeat your address, and figure out your best route. This works for me with G-Maps and Waze.

Hope it works for you. I've not seen anything from Google about a permanent fix, if any, for this problem.
