Oh the things I could rant on about Android Automotive, and about legacy automakers integrating “smart” things poorly.

Part of this is another well deserved rant against GM for not putting Android Auto on their cars. That’s something that other manufacturers do and I suppose in that case it actually would work well. I don’t know.

If you want to be even more unreasonably angered about this… I currently drive a Honda Prologue, which uses GM’s Ultima EV platform. The Play Store even shows the car “device” as a “GM Aegean”. It supports Android Auto. Even puts it in the little app window as if the system wasn’t already running Android Automotive. Regular Android Auto just like on any other vehicle… inside Android Automotive. They could do it, they chose not to.
