Unable to make phone call on Android Auto after OS update to Android 11

Question

Since Android 11 was released I am not able to make phone calls with Android Auto.  It seems like it will work, I say the contact info, Google as "calling" but it goes right back to playing music without connecting the phone call.  When I disconnect AA the phone call is then made as soon as it is disconnected.
Car / head unit make & model: 2016 Hyundai Tucson 
Phone make & model: Pixel 4XL
Android OS version: 11
AA app version: 5.5.602944-release

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the reports. We want to confirm if you have the ‘Screen saver’ setting enabled on your phone. If yes, try disabling screen saver off by following the steps below. Please let us know if disabling it fixes the problem when placing outbound calls. Thanks!
Open your phone's Settings app.
Tap Display > Advanced > Screen saver.
While on the screen saver settings, tap When to start. If you don't see "When to start," tap More  >  When to start. 
Set to "Never"
