Android sounds great, devices using it absolutely get lots of updates long into the future.

The point with Android Auto (and CarPlay) is that it keeps working with future devices. Your current phone might stop getting updates, but your new one will work with your car too.

The interface is actually running on your phone, but using your car's display as an external display and touch input device.
