Android Auto (Google Assistant) vs Apple Carplay (Siri)

CarPlay isn't bad .

A bit inconsistant though.

Tell me about xyz 'we can't while you're driving'
Tell me about abc 'sure'

Also hate the fact that it can't get my address right and guides me to a location I don't even know

@Smiggles did you ever figure out a solution? I recall you had the same address issue

No I'm looking for a list application with lifetime payment so I can move back to Android.
 
Google's Gemini is coming to Android Auto in a few months

Google will enhance Android Auto and cars with Google built-in by bringing over Gemini later this year. The company's AI natural voice assistant will accept hands-free commands without the need to push a button or do anything but keep your hands on the wheel.

Drivers will be able to interact with Gemini just like on their smartphones, but with some car-centric twists - you could ask Gemini to take you to the post office, but then ask Gemini to find a charging stop near a park, for example.

Gemini Live is an entirely new conversational experience. You could talk naturally with Gemini or brainstorm, "I want to ask my boss for a raise, but how do I go about it?"

Is that the woke racist AI?
 
CarPlay Ultra sneak attack. Love it.

Now how many manufacturers will make the effort to be backwards compatible and upgrade existing cars.
 
Android Auto to bring video and web browsing to your car's dashboard

Google is about to roll out big updates for Android Auto, promising to change how you interact with your car's infotainment screen. Soon, browsing the web and watching videos could be as common as listening to music or navigating, at least when your car is safely parked.

For years, Google has been careful about what apps can appear on your car's display via Android Auto. The main reason? Safety. Nobody wants drivers distracted by complex apps while trying to navigate traffic. This approach has meant a slow but steady expansion of supported app categories. Most recently, weather apps have "graduated from beta," meaning developers can now more easily create and publish weather apps for Android Auto, as long as they meet Google's quality standards.

The next big step, however, involves bringing even more of your phone's capabilities to the dashboard. Google has announced that Android Auto will soon support two new app categories: web browsers and video apps. As you might expect, Google is still prioritizing safety; video playback will only work when the car is parked. To access these video apps on Android Auto, users will need a phone running the upcoming Android 16 and what Google calls "select compatible cars." Details about which browsers or specific video apps will be available first haven't been shared yet, but more information is expected closer to the rollout later this year.

There's also an interesting development for cars that run Android Automotive OS. This is different from Android Auto. Android Auto projects apps from your phone onto the car's screen, while Android Automotive is the car's own built-in operating system. For these Android Automotive systems, Google plans an audio-only mode for video apps. This clever feature would let you listen to the sound from video apps even while driving. So, if you have a favorite podcast or a news show you usually watch on YouTube, you can soon listen to it safely on your commute without the video part causing a distraction.
