I still don't understand why car brands don't just use Android Automotive anyway. Most native infotainment systems in cars still look and feel like they're from the early 2000s.
That 55-inch interface they're showing off really looks like some weird 2006-ish concept.
Edit: Apparently, it's running "Google built-in" which means that this particular system is based on Android Automotive OS and it's just running some proprietary launcher on top.
I wonder how long before they stop pushing updates to it
That's implying that they'll push updates at all
We all know that the look of the interface will stay the same throughout the lifetime of the car. At least with CarPlay or Android Auto, it represents the interface of your phone. CarPlay is a hard requirement for my vehicles.
Subscription based for a few years z then they'll just drop it
Nissan stopped updating the navigation for my 2016 car last year.
So... Pretty shit
I remember when updates to cars were called product recalls and they only happened in exceptional circumstances.
