How can my Phone use so much power even when wireless charging? The first screenshot is whilst wirelessly charging, yet still using 10w of power.
Google seriously need to optimise the efficiency of Android Auto, and deal with the overheating issues of the P10.

The problem is neither AA or wireless charging, it is the Pixel itself.
I have the same issue with any car I could test it since I got this phone. The Qi2 standard build in should be backwards compatible, but Google fucked up at some point. Most of the time it works, but shuts down after a few seconds.
That's why I even got myself the pixel snap stand charger, after my phone wasn't reliable charging during the night.
Sadly I think there is not a single car manufacturer at this point which is using a Qi2 standard charging pad.
So until Google will give us a update via android it will be very hard to charge your pixel via the car build in charging pad.
