[Android Automotive] Make album art fill more of the screen when playing

The album art is just a small stamp in the middle of the screen. It would be really nice to have it fill more of the screen when music is playing and perhaps resize by tapping to reveal control buttons (next / back / play / pause etc)

I think it has something to do with the screen ratio. iPad has large album art with narrower slider because it's 4:3. If I did a split screen on my landscape 16:9/16:10 android tablet, and making the other app (I choose gallery displaying a solid black picture) as narrow as possible. It will effectively bring the spotify portion of the screen (close) to 4:3, and voila, the album art is similar to iPad OS. (Or I could change the orientation to potrait, but I'm using the tablet as car entertaiment head unit, so portrait ia inconvinient) This is frustrating, becauss the album art is comically tiny on my new 12.1 tablet. If only the app not compelled to fill the whole width of the screen and just put a centered big art and smaller slider, while letting the side portions realtively empty. I think there should an option to toggle this behaviour
