Android Auto: auto start playlists

When I select a playlist in Android Auto mode I think the music should immediately start playing. What happens now is I select the playlist and then wait a long time while it loads a list of every song in that playlist. Then I have to select one of the songs to start hearing the music. To make it worse, if I want to listen to the playlist on shuffle (which I do 99% of the time) I have to select the 3-dot icon to get to the sub-menu and then turn on shuffle. This all needs to be more streamlined for use while driving. Thanks for the consideration.

The loading time is way too long, I usually start my playlist unplugged and then plug it to my car otherwise I would arrive at destination before the playlist would be loaded.
Plus the shuffle button icons are wrong, two straight arrrows = shuffle mode and crossed arrows = shuffle
