Android Auto allows users with a compatible vehicle to use their vehicle's infotainment screen for Android applications like Waze, music, phone, etc. Google plays my messages, and I can reply to them using Assistant. It effectively replaces the vehicle's "assistant" with Google. Example: I'm not sure where a certain restaurant is. Rather than look it up and punch the location in my vehicle's navigation system, I just tell Google "navigate to Chief's Smokehouse" - Google will do the search, put the address in Waze (or Maps if I choose), and navigate there.
Since you say you have no need of it, you can go to Settings -- Apps -- Overflow Menu (three dots upper right) -- Show system apps and scroll to Android Auto. There you should be able to uninstall it or at least disable it.

). If you've installed any security app (often, misleadlingly, marketed as "anti-virus" is that set to interfere with such actions? I'm just speculating at this point because we don't know anything about your setup.
