If you’re talking an Android tablet/headunit, separate from Android Auto, that makes sense… But Android Auto is essentially a simplified interface for specific apps installed on your phone, and is generally quicker and safer than using the phone interface. No one here is arguing for a separate android console interface, so I’m not sure we’re talking about the same things. The whole point of Android Auto is to take a separate interface and OS out of the equation and to allow you to use your phone as the brain.

What apps were you hoping for it to support?

I am not sure how it could be much more intuitive, at least from a touch screen perspective. It’s just a touch interface with an app drawer, nothing much more to it than that. However, if it wasn’t a touch screen I could believe it not being very nice to use, as I have a friend that has an Audi that does CarPlay but the screen isn’t touch, so he had to use physical buttons to use the interface. THAT is definitely not good.

As for the apps, I use Signal, WhatsApp, Messages, Spotify, YT Music, Waze, and Google Maps and they all support AA, so at least for my purposes it does what I need from a car apps interface standpoint.

The main argument I have against just phone + bluetooth is that you have to unlock your screen, keep it on, and it’s a smaller size. I have wireless android auto set up, along with a magsafe case+charger, so my routine is to get in the car, slap the phone on the charger, and everything just comes up on my head unit display. For me it is way more convenient than having to deal with my phone display, and the larger screen is also better for navigation.

I have yet to hear any real negative points against AA or CarPlay for that matter, mostly it comes down to preferences like yours rather than actual interface issues.

I am curious why you think that? My reasons for liking it are the fact that it essentially just works, and gives me a consistent UI across multiple vehicles. What are your issues with it?

Not a film, but wholeheartedly and agree.

Hey, you’re right! I guess if I had said I did you’d have a point.

oh no

Well shit! That’s awesome. Can’t say that I’m a huge fan of the graphical upgrade actually, at least during gameplay. Looks too much like a flash game or something. However, maybe it’ll feel different during play. Definitely glad you can switch styles. Still will be getting this just to support Gargoyles stuff. Wonder if they’ll add any voice work from the original cast? Can never have too much Keith David.

Is all of them a valid answer?

I always find it weird when people repost this acting as if Dr. Phil wouldn’t have been in on the whole situation. It’s not like the show was aired live, or that the guy wouldn’t have had to been approved to go out on stage dressed like that by likely at least a dozen people, and Phil would definitely have been told in advance. So the guy was allowed to do it by Phil and the staff, and then the episode was edited and allowed to air, all for ratings.

Seriously, why is it even a thing anymore? It’s really sad that people are still even using the service. I understand the stories, because a train wreck is hard to turn away from, but why would you still want to be on board the train? Literally no one should be on that hellsite.

Damn you for this comment.

Hot damn, this is the most satisfyingly hilarious pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. Musk has got to be the absolute richest moron on the entire planet, and possibly in all of reality itself. What the absolute hell is he thinking??? Is this some kind of 5-D chess thing where he is going to somehow get a payout for tearing it down Producers-style?

I tried FF7R’s attempt, but it just doesn’t do it for me. It is nice that they tried though I suppose.

I’m not one of those people that says “why make this” when it’s a game style I don’t like, so I’m all for anyone who loves this style of game to be happy and enjoy it. That being said, I long for a day where we get a turn based Final Fantasy again (that isn’t just another remake of older games).

Huh, for once I am siding with Apple. Weird feeling.

This doesn’t quite work because subscriptions are voluntary and taxes are anything but.

For non rich people I mean.
