I do not normally say this, but please, for the love of fuck, make Gemini a premium feature
They couldn’t possibly make it any more garbage than it actually is.
In the middle of an audio book in any media player but you connect to your car? Too bad! Android Auto is its own separate little world and your playlist position is different in the car vs. out of it.
Someone sent you a text but ye gods forbid, they sent it before you started driving your car? Too bad! You can’t see past text messages, just the ones that were sent while you were driving. I guess if somebody texted you an address in advance you’ll have to fish your phone out of your pocket.
Somebody’s calling you who is already in your address book. Too bad! We’ll only show the phone number on the screen and not their contact name.
Etc., etc.
Android Auto is basically useless. My car stereo supports both, so I just screen mirror if I actually care about functionality. I only use Android Auto itself when all I want is a map.

The position thing is the fault of the app developer. I don’t have that issue with Podcast Republic.
please no
Could they just try to make it so it actually works rather than telling me my wife doesn’t exist in my contacts list when I ask it to call her?
That’s just Gemini trying to break you out of the Matrix. You don’t have a wife. There’s no contact list. Wake up then_three_more!

We do have this. Not perfect but a good effort by them. https://www.braxtech.net/

It runs iode OS. A forked project of lineage. It’s also capable of running Ubuntu touch. It’s a great project, just has some deal breakers for me. If I ever de-google I’d rather use an existing device.
Smarter eh? My BP already usually up when driving in traffic. You sure this isn’t just going to piss me off more because I feel like this is just going to piss me off more?
Good thing I don’t use android auto either then I guess.
Great! another feature I have zero interest in will be shoved down my throat!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck google
How about instead you make it where I’m can constantly connect the first time!
There is a simple solution: stop using Android Auto.
And use what
Nothing. Perhaps wean yourselves away from it.
So replace it with nothing. Down grade my experience. That’s your solution?
Use the radio which is full of ads and don’t use Google maps on my dashboard?
People have been navigating with physical maps a lot longer than smart phones.
Or use Open Street Map
Right and it was a pile of shit.
Google maps is a million times better, that’s why most of the people use it, over a physical map.
Argumentum ad populum fallacy.
Fallacy fallacy.
I use Android Auto with open street maps
At least KITT was charming, this is just trying to shove AI into as many place as possible…
