Google maps platform navigation SDK and Android Automotive (AAOS)

Question

followMyLocation in GoogleMap requires implementation of NavigationApi.NavigatorListener interface. When at first run on an Android mobile device this interface opens automoatically a dialog asking to accept Navigation terms and conditions. But implementation of this interface for use in Android Automotive (AAOS) does not open automatically a dialog to accept the terms and conditions. Therefore NavigationApi throws TERMS_NOT_ACCEPTED error.

Is there any way to show terms and conditions for Google Navigation applications running in Android Automotive devices?

Below code snipped shows the implementation of NavigationApi.NavigatorListener

@SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
fun initializeNavigationApi() {
    NavigationApi.getNavigator(
        foregroundLocationService?.application,
        object : NavigationApi.NavigatorListener {
            override fun onNavigatorReady(navigator: Navigator?) {
                // Disables the guidance notifications and shuts down the app and background service
                // when the user dismisses/swipes away the app from Android's recent tasks.
                navigator?.setTaskRemovedBehavior(Navigator.TaskRemovedBehavior.QUIT_SERVICE)
                navigationViewForAuto!!.getMapAsync { googleMap ->
                    googleMap.apply {
                        followMyLocation(GoogleMap.CameraPerspective.TILTED)
                        isTrafficEnabled = true
                    }
                }
            }
            override fun onError(@NavigationApi.ErrorCode errorCode: Int) {
                when (errorCode) {
                    NavigationApi.ErrorCode.NOT_AUTHORIZED -> {
                        // Note: If this message is displayed, you may need to check that
                        // your API_KEY is specified correctly in AndroidManifest.xml
                        // and is been enabled to access the Navigation API
                        Log.i("NAVIGATION API",
                            "Error loading Navigation API: Your API key is " +
                                    "invalid or not authorized to use Navigation."
                        )
                    }
                    NavigationApi.ErrorCode.TERMS_NOT_ACCEPTED -> {
                        Log.i("NAVIGATION API",
                            "Error loading Navigation API: User did not " +
                                    "accept the Navigation Terms of Use."
                        )
                    }
                    else -> Log.i("NAVIGATION API", "Error loading Navigation API: $errorCode")
                }
            }
        }
    )
}

The Google Maps/Navigation SDK isn't currently supported on Android Automotive OS Cars with Google built-in, so that may be part of the issue.
