Default Strange Icon Upon Startup

Upon starting my car, an icon that looks like a car surrounded by a dashed circle and exclamation point appears for several seconds at the bottom of the virtual cockpit and then disappears. I checked the owner's manual and couldn't find anything regarding this icon. Anyone know that it means?

i noticed it as well, its the audi pre-sense symbol. probably just letting us know that it isn't ready for the few seconds after engine startup.

It's to let you know that Pre Sense is in its initialization phase and not ready yet.

Reminds me of when I first noticed it after I bought my car. Scared the crap out of me cuz I hadn’t noticed it before. It’s just the presense initializing,

I never noticed the icon until I read this thread. Good to know.
