My Samsung S9 keeps driving with out permission.

I have a Samsung S9 and as I have a 2019 Ford Ranger I use Android Auto. It kind of works most of the time. Usually demanding I update something every time I use it. I do not drive the Ranger every day and it can sometimes be several weeks between trips in it.
My S9 must get lonely or something because it will randomly launch Android Auto and any text I get sent to me on the phone will automatically send a [Auto-Reply[ I'm driving right now - I will get back to you later.
This is very annoying particularly if someone phones me as the phone rings once and when I try to answer there is nothing there. I have looked on the web for a solution but so far nothing. Short of dumping Android Auto I am at a loss.
Case in point as I was typing this post the phone went to driving mode. I am typing this post on my laptop.
