Android Auto seems to be super sensitive to the phone going into any mode that turns off apps - e.g. battery saver mode, etc. If you are having issues, try disabling all battery saving capabilities and see if that helps. If it does, you can still use battery saver, but turn it off in app settings for the key apps (like Waze). This is what was causing Waze to lock up for me on a Samsung S8+. Once I turned off battery saver, perfect.
