We need an alternative to android auto now😭
I upgraded to an older car that doesn’t have any of that nonsense.
Great! another feature I have zero interest in will be shoved down my throat!
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!
“Smart AI” is like saying “Microsoft Works”…
It’s a more talkative, more delusional Clippy.
please no
Boo hiss fuck off
I wouldn’t be so pissed if Gemini actually had good audio to text
Don’t do evil
Good thing I don’t use android auto either then I guess.
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
How is it a downgrade to disable a torrent of shit you don’t want?
Drop some small change on a mobile-data-enabled tablet if you want Google Maps. Even better, use one of the many GPS apps based on Open Streetmap, or even Here We Go. Some of those have an excellent disconnected (from mobile data, not GPS) operating mode and route-finding that’s no worse than Google’s.
How is it a torrent of shit that I don’t want exactly?
It gives all I need, music, maps, Google assistant. In no way it’s out an issue.
You’re just a malcontent looking for issues, with a chip on his shoulder.
I might try some other software, but android auto is dependable and pretty good.
What the hell are you talking about?
How about instead you make it where I’m can constantly connect the first time!
At least KITT was charming, this is just trying to shove AI into as many place as possible…
I do not normally say this, but please, for the love of fuck, make Gemini a premium feature

There will now be constant popups for you to upgrade and regular “free trials” that shift around the ui so you use it accidentally, and then go back to normal a week later.
