Must unlock phone to read messages in Android Auto. (Running Android 11 Beta.)

[Android Central Question]

I have a Pixel 2 XL that I upgraded to the Android 11 beta. When connected to my car using Android Auto, and I say 'Hey Google, read messages,' I'm asked to unlock my phone first. I don't remember having to do this under the previous version of Android.

Does anyone else have this experience, and if so, is there a way to automatically have my phone unlock and stay unlocked when connected via USB to Android Auto?

Thanks.

Mike.

Seldom do beta versions work with Android Auto

If you are in a Beta version you should give your feedback to the developers.
