Audible just randomly stops playing and switches apps

I have about a 30 minute commute to and from work every day. I'll be listening to an audiobook on the Audible app through Android Auto and normally about 3 times during a trip it will randomly stop playing and the Audible widget will disappear off the Android Auto home screen. Nothing else starts playing it just goes completely silent. When I click on the audio shortcut to select the app that I want to play from after this it is coming up to Amazon Music (which also happens to be the first audio app I have, alphabetically, so I'm not sure if it is swapping to Amazon Music specifically or just swapping to the top app by default because the audio crashed). I can then swap back to Audible and start playing again but like I said it's happening about 3 times in a 30 minute time span. Sometimes there will be a short time between the crashes and sometimes much longer (it might happen 5 minutes after the last crash and then not for 15 minutes after the next one). I have reinstalled Android Auto but it continues to happen. I mostly listen to Audible so I'm not sure if the same thing happens for other audio apps or not.

I am having the same issue. Using Spotify and it just randomly switches to Amazon music. Been using it for 3 years been happening for the last few days.

Same issue.  Listening to audible via android auto and after several minutes it stops playing and Amazon Music becomes the forground application.

Same issue here. It changes to Amazon Music from any audio app that I have selected. (Google Play Music, Stitcher, Audiible, and Podcast Addict). It's annoying and dangerous.

Get Jeff Bezos out of my phone! I've uninstalled Amazon Music and the problem has stopped. Amazon is great for shopping. Terrible for everything else

Close to the same issue, but just auto-pauses and waits for re-pressing "play" arrow

Same for me. Audible stops playing constantly. Google, you're worse than Apple.
