You are not the target audience for this feature, but that audience exists and it's gigantic.

  Is Audi's target market also a complete subset of that target audience, or is it at least significantly overlapping with that target audience?

    Luxury car makers seem to keep putting more and more not-directly-related-to-the-act-of-driving features in cars every new model, so that leads me towards, "Yes."

  As touchscreen interfaces and android auto integration creeps almost in EVERY car market, I can't be not target audience.

    You seen to care deeply about your privacy, so no you aren't the target audience. > And the last thing I need in my car is phone interface. Not the target audience for the phone integration features...

Let me guess. Motorcycle rider? (_Fellow_ motorcycle rider...)

  many large touring motorcycles have built in navigation and music, Harley and Honda even support Apple car play now. Harley had good voice control as well. Indian has a large panel on their bikes with navigation and split screen. It all comes down to being a responsible rider/driver

  No, just random guy on KIA RIO. I use my car primarily on weekends, using public transport on work days.

  Newish bike rider. Do you have a phone mount? Do you listen to music or have any sorta HUD?

    I do not use a phone mount. It's that _last_ thing I want when I'm riding. I _used_ to wear a smart watch (all of the first 3 iterations of the Pebble) because I thought it would be useful to know who's calling when I can feel my phone buzzing in my pocket while riding so I can decide whether to pull over and answer it or not. Turns out the answer is alway "no". Either I'm jus commuting and I can choose to call back (or not) when I get to my destination, or I'm on the road and I don't care that I won't get to it for several hours or more. I'm pretty good at navigating - so I don't want/miss the gps/mapping thing. On trips I'd _much_ rather just turn down roads I've never been on that look like they're headed kinda the right way, and see where I end up. If I need to, I'll check in on the phone when I fuel up every 2-3 hours - but it's pretty rare for me to end up somewhere with no idea of which direction and at least a rough guess of how far away the place I'm headed to is. I do sometimes listen to music - using in ear headphones that fit under my helmet. I'll _occasionally_ use that for turn-by-turn navigation to if I'm trying to get somewhere in town I've never been before in a place I'm not familiar enough to dead-reckon myself close enough that I can get to a place where I'll get by on remembered landmarks and street names.
