I own a car with Android Auto and I use it all of the time. The biggest benefit is the voice interface, but almost everything about the nav system on Android Auto is better than the builtin one.

AFAIK, one of the main feature requests for Tesla is to add Android Auto. Its one of those things that is annoying to go without, once you've had it available for a while.

Google must have about 100Gb of recordings of me saying, "OK Google, no, fuck, OK beep, OK Google... fuck, what was I doing again?"

Yeah, its crazy how mediocre it can be and still better than the stock interface.

If Nissan kept recordings, they'd have several even worse recordings. Long sequences that fail on the last step are really common.
