There are currently two workarounds. The first consists in manually setting the light or dark mode on the phone, the second in manually installing an older version of Maps. Alternatively, it is of course possible to use the alternative Waze application, but not everyone wants that (Waze also belongs to Google). The company has since released Map 11.34, but it doesn't appear to have fixed the problem. However, the most recent beta release is 11.35, which seems to actually fix the bug, as users are already reporting fixes. So if the dark mode in Android The car is bothering you too, and you don't want to deal with alternatives, the only option is to hold on.
