Just read that blog post and it looks like the new UI is starting to roll out for everyone, not just beta users. But something really interesting towards the end is :

With the recently announced 2023 Accord Touring model, Honda joins a growing list of brands offering cars with Google built-in that includes Volvo Cars, Polestar, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac and Renault. Expect even more choices from brands like Ford and Lincoln later in 2023 as well. Learn more about cars with Google built-in on our website.

I wonder if we'll eventually get Google built-in to the car so we can have digital keys stored in our accounts, it's possible to "lend" keys to pixel/ios users if you have family over or something.

It also hint's AA will have Youtube soon, hopefully it's better than SYNC's built in lagfest.

I believe Ford already said that 2023 will get google built in but 2021 and 2022 will not

I think it's already been announced that Ford is working on integrating Android Automotive into its cars. First cars will probably be 2024 model year Mach-E, Lightning, and maybe some others as well.

The next post is correct. If the car comes with Sync, it will not be upgraded to Google. The intent was 2023, they missed it.

Regarding YouTube, I think that was only mentioned in the Google Built-In section. So perhaps it's only coming for Android Automotive OS, not Android Auto ?
