the wireless versions bring their own tradeoffs and connection issues. transferring control from one phone to another is not a seamless experience in any vehicle I've been in. automatically connecting to my phone (and locking me out of google maps on the phone) is not desired every single time I turn on my car. I doubt GP would be satisfied with those either. wireless android auto uses a lot of battery, so typically I end up plugging my phone in anyway (although personally, I never end up forgetting the device). that said, I don't agree that it's a "really bad user experience". it meets or exceeds 95% of my expectations for an infotainment integration, and I trust google to keep it working 5-8 years down the line much more than I trust the software dev team of my car's manufacturer. the only thing that really pisses me off is how google voice assistant uses zero "common sense" when interpreting street addresses and song names. no, I don't want to navigate to a similar street name 1000 miles away. I want to navigate to my parents' house, same as the last 50 times...
