This really sucks for AutoMate. They've been offering exactly this for years now.
Never nice to have a bigger company eat your lunch, but it was always going to be a victim of it's own success plugging that hole.
Hope they can keep going, but it looks like the writings on the wall here.
- ohstopitu 10y agoHopefully Google will acquire AutoMate and use the team to work on this as well (while adding more features) like OBD II support, backup camera support, 3rd party apps etc.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoOr hopefully, independent companies will continue to do faster, better work independently from the Google monopoly, and their apps will be available in more countries than Google supports properly.
- tdkl 10y ago> This really sucks for AutoMate. Why ? This app can't launch anything except couple Google apps. While this might be godtier in the Google bubble, many of users would also like to use other navigation/media apps with it.
