David is the managing editor of Android Police and his phone is whatever is currently sitting on his desk. He is an avid writer, enjoys playing devil's advocate in editorials, and reviewing the latest phones and gadgets. He also doesn't usually write such boring sentences.
I am so excited to make fun of this.
Chrylser has a concept. Volvo and Audi are partners, yeah. As to when actual vehicles will launch, we don't know. https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/05/15/google-building-full-android-car-volvo-audi/
I remember trying Auto on a Honda Accord that sent track info and upcoming nav directions to a little secondary display in the instrument cluster. It was kinda cool.
So have I, and if you think letting somebody type an address or the name of a podcast while their car is stopped is going to dramatically affect road safety, I have news for you: they're already doing it. Probably while they're driving, too! In the meantime, people with Auto would probably prefer not to have to input the same voice command four times before Maps finally gets the address or Play Music finally understands the artist name - things which are arguably also very distracting.
It is. Android Automotive doesn't exist in any announced vehicle, though.
