Misleading / Clickbait title, BMW aren't switching to Android - they're just offering Android auto as they do Apple CarPlay. Better reporting at https://www.th

  Ok, we've switched to that article from https://www.androidpolice.com/bmw-android-automotive/ https://www.androidpolice.com/bmw-android-automotive/. Thanks! p.s. "@mods" is a no-op. I only saw this completely randomly. If you want deterministic message delivery, please contact us via hn@ycombinator.com.

  Are you sure? Android Automotive is totally different from Android Auto. And everything I've seen is very explicit about saying "Automotive".

  This is not accurate. BMW already offers Android Auto today. This is an announcement they will be making an Android Automotive based infotainment system.

    My point was they're offering it for /some/ cars, they're not switching to it, sorry I confused the naming from android auto with android automotive - those two words mean the same thing in Australia/NZ.

      > BMW aren't switching to Android - they're just offering Android auto as they do Apple CarPlay. No, that's not what you were saying. You compared it to CarPlay. Yes, the names are confusingly close.
