Important, this happens regardless of whether you have increased your targetSDK to 35 or not! There is no notion of this in the Behaviour Changes docs

Even though I currently see no hint to this in the Changelog, the solution seems to be to update your androidx.car.app:app SDK Version to 1.7.0-beta

There were likely some changes in the Manifest or the CarContext, to fix the Intent handling, which has been changed (allegedly only for apps targeting Android 15) as described here
