And that's exactly how accidents happen. People who think they're the better driver and think they can multitask. NO! Keep your eyes on the road. Anticipation is all that counts on the road. Don't be so stupid to do other things while driving.. because no matter how good you can drive.. that's an accident waiting to happen.

            Electric scooters are, in fact, more eco-friendly simply because of its size. So how does that make me holier than thou? Do you even know what that means?

            Your argument doesn't even address the lifespan of the scooter's battery, which would've been a more valid point to criticize as it's probably shorter than a car battery.

                No, my LG Viper 5G will not work with my mom in law from when I was in her car after marrying my brother for some reason, like it technically did connect to the car but Pandora radio was not working

                  I use android and always will use android. The only thing that I don't like is google maps. It shows the map too small. Not very good while driving.

                    Android auto would be a lot better if I could watch films, TV, etc on long boring drives. Maybe they could put games on it too, I am a very good driver so can easily multitask. The screen in my car is quite big so Wild Rift or PUBG Mobile would probably be a lot of fun. Something for Google to #consider I think.

                      Google/Apple Map should be build in regardless of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay in my opinion. Not some crappy map from the car maker.

                        No, I have no use for driving and I simply use my LG Rebel 3 for all my commute needs

                          I support having the choice to use Carplay and Android Auto, but I don't use them because I focus on the driving when I drive. This is why I want a motorcycle: It's a pure visceral driving experience.

                            Android Auto for me. I use it a lot.

Android will update the maps you specify once a month I think. I use it for the areas I frequent so I use less data while driving.

You will get a temporary ID until your new will be ready.

                                    I never use android auto. I only use Bluetooth connection to play youtube music/podcasts on my second car.

                                      Nope. But my phone enters car mode when my bt connect with the car. Spotify, maps and calls is the only thing needed when driving.

                                      Messenger, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Twitter(X) and all those other stuff can wait till I'm done driving.
