Hi recently I'm seeing news about android auto all over the place like:

  • Grapheneos recently integrated android auto.
  • Microsoft Teams is being developed for Android auto.
  • Google updating android auto with chrome support.

What has happened in android auto now that there are some companies focusing on it?

Most car manufacturers are giving up on their shitty in-house UI's in favor of Android Auto and Car play because that's what customers actually want. There is momentum and companies love taking advantage of it.

CES is also happening right now so there are a lot of car announcements.

Wait GrapheneOS supports Android Auto now? That's a game changer if true as it's the only thing holding me back.
