How is looking at them on the car any safer?

  Unrestrained Objects can cause or worsen accidents (e.g. phone under the brake pedal). Plus there's better integration with steering wheel controls and a closer microphone for voice control. Phones themselves aren't a problem if used safely, such as running Android Auto (full screen app version) and having it mounted so it can hear voice commands. The problem is that people try to jerry-rig a poor man's version using Google Maps app, a phone sitting loose in the cup holder, and no voice commands ("let me pick it up briefly to pick a route"). It is the difference between ideal usage and real world usage. Built into the vehicle gives you closer to ideal usage every single time.

    Just about everyone I know has a car mount. Used to be they required all sorts of extensive setup/install. Now however you have that mounts that you can get for 2 for $8 on Amazon.

  The larger fixed position display is easier to read at a glance than a SmartPhone display.

  Because I am too lazy to add a mount or anything in my car. Ideally would be Google Maps and assistant built in.
