Android Central Question

How do I get Google Assistant to launch map navigate by Car instead of Walking? For some reason if I say "Navigate to some-place" Google launches Map or Map Preview with walking directions instead of car.

I can stop Map app and then manually switch to car mode but that's a huge pain especially when driving on the road. When I'm in my car I want Car Drive mode all of the time. Extremely frustrating that Google is doing this by default. It's actually a safety issue IMO as well.

Why on earth is Google system defaulting to Walk navigation instead by Car and how do I fix this??
