Android-powered built-in infotainment systems (and their AppleCar equivalents) have been met with mixed reactions. Some say you shouldn’t have anything to distract you because your focus should be 100% on the road. Others say it’s a handy feature to safely navigate around town – miles better than a driver who has no idea where they are going.
But now that Android Auto has a standalone app, is it critical to have it built into the dash anymore? Of course, it is nice to have car statistics on the screen as well, like low tire pressure or check engine light codes, but it is a lot of money to shell out when you could simply get a phone mount and get more or less the same thing.
