Haha, I can see how that can be frustrating, especially because it seems like GrapheneOS provides a lot of value for lots of people minus those two features. After buying a car with Android Auto I have never bought a car without it. OEM car integration usually is very lacking especially when it comes to navigation. I wish there were open source alternatives to android auto. Thank you for the respectful response :)

I've been trying my best to reply to such comments with kindness and what they could have done to make their comment more constructive. Lot's of people react on emotion and sometimes they just need a bit of guidance to engage constructively. Others that are both unhelpful and rude get a report also.

Thank you for the helpful links and the insight! Much appreciated! I see how the deep integration hardware integration of Android Auto makes it challenging to run it in a compatibility layer.

Before switching OS's I need to know if it's compatible with the features that I value. It's okay if you don't value the same features as I do, but there's no reason to be both rude and provide no useful information at the same time.

This, and Google Pay/Wallet would be the deciding factor for me

I'll give it another go to see if things have changed over the years, thanks!

I'm sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

my guess is so google can use this data for analytics for their operating system since it collects OS version too

I've been trying to switch to Linux for the same reasons you mentioned. What OS are you dual booting with windows that you've been able to use as a daily driver?
