MODERATORS
Integrating Android Auto into Android Automotive is even easier than CarPlay, and GM is dropping it as well. It's quite literally a built-in feature of Android Automotive that has to be actively removed.
(Just to keep the distinction clear: Android Automotive == A Google Android-based interface for car infotainment, Android Auto == An API for projecting your phone screen and relevant apps to an infotainment display)
It's 100% about extracting revenue from customers by forcing them to use the manufacturer's infotainment ecosystem and charge for recurring subscriptions to things your phone will do for free (and in an actually upgradeable manner).
