New Android Auto UI

The new Android Auto UI is awful. The for you section is always for the wrong day, and it has a set of suggested stations that follow no obvious logic. Recently played is limited to three pages. My collection is sorted by recently collected maybe?

I'm actively trying to figure out how to roll back. Please, please fix it

I agree this UI is terrible, it's less useful and not as intuitive to use. Recents are buried in some other screen (there used to be a separate tab at the top for recents). Also, the "card view" that now displays every item is not helpful. Each item takes up too much room and requires too much eye scanning and then more scrolling to view additional items. I'm not sure why every UI "designer" thinks everything needs to display as a "card". A list works fine. This is resulting in more time with eyes off the road to find what I want.

Even more confusing, I thought I had an app update to bring on this new UI. However I've been on app version 2510.1.1 since I got my phone, and over the weekend I still had the previous UI displaying with this same app version.
