I tried the redesigned Android Auto interface and it's actually good now

Whether you use Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, or something else usually comes down to which car and phone model you own — and if they play nice together. I own a Tesla, and that (unfortunately) means I can't use Android Auto or CarPlay without janky third-party solutions. Every once in a while, I get to try Android Auto while borrowing cars or participating in demos, and it's interesting to see how far the user interface has come. Most recently, I tried the new-look Android Auto experience at last year's Google I/O developer showcase, complete with the Gemini virtual assistant and a fresh media player interface.
