It doesn’t make sense to me for manufacturers to put money into R&D for their own operating system. Toyota has been doing that for years and it is still horrible. I’ve been using android automotive since September 2021 when I bought my first Volvo and it’s phenomenal. I’m coming from Apple as well. It didn’t even have CarPlay for the first six months but the Google Maps integration is absolutely phenomenal. I use AAOS for navigation, music podcasts etc. because of Volvo data package covers all of that and I use CarPlay for text and telephony.

Toyota’s latest system is pretty good.
