Is there an alternative to Android Auto that doesn't share everything with Google?

Do privacy focused phones have such a service? What maps and music apps do they use if such a thing exists?
I don't think Apple cares about privacy, I think it's just a convenient selling point since they don't have an advertising program. That said, they are less intrusive than Google by a mile.
Yeah if privacy is a concern I seriously doubt Apple products are a good answer.
I think they weren't implying it's the best option, just that it's the lesser evil. You can definitely go for some other foss options or a separate satnav entirely, but Apple Carplay works on most cars without requiring additional software or tools. Obviously OP will have to buy an iPhone.
I use organic maps and it has worked great for me. I believe it uses the same map data as osmand so they should be effectively the same, but I like organic maps enough that I feel its worth mentioning.
Thank you for mentioning this, just tried it and will be using it!
I'm not sure you're being downvoted just because of the Apple dislike nor because of Apple's blatant disregard to our privacy, but, instead, for answering 'Apple' when the OP asked about 'Android'. Maybe a little for calling us 'goobers' hahaha
