Android auto IS using your own phone.

A crippled version of my phone.

What exactly are you doing on your phone while driving besides listening to music and/or using maps?

Typing in maps addresses that are too complex for the voice recognition to understand.

You should still be able to do that on the car touchscreen just like the old Tom Tom etc…

They also forget that sometimes there is a passenger wanting to do this, it’s not always just the driver in the car.

If there's a passenger, at least in my car, the system recognizes it and let's one type with the touchscreen.

Listening to YouTube, playing music from my sd card. Changing routing instructions. Adding stops along the way. Avoiding highways, allowing highways. Asking what the exchange rate between the euro abd the dollar is. Asking if European chickens are smaller than American chickens. (And probably other things)
