Isn't it like speaking on Hands-free system with phone?
-
it's still going to be a distraction, especially if it's the rare type of meeting you actually need to listen to or engage with.
-
yeah, my thoughts exactly

But why?

Meh, the reality is Android Auto is such a bad idea anyway.
Being dependent on auto manufacturers to keep their head units up to date is silly. They're terrible at this game.
Ever had a car with GPS? My Android phone has beat car GPS since 2006. I have a new car in the family, and it will never see a mapping update. Oh, they claim it will exist, but when? And for how much? And when the manufacturer of that hardware ceases operations, what then? We use it just to have a map up, and phones for actual nav, for voice directions.
Until we see open hardware in head units (so we can manage it ourselves), it will continue to be a shitshow. But we know manufacturers will never give up that control.

I really don't want to be available for work while I'm driving. At least give me that time frame for myself.
-
My dude, I want two things in my Android Auto, and two things only: Maps and Spotify*. That's it. Stop cramming stupid shit that can't be used while I'm driving, what the hell.
*swap it for your music player of choice.

Ah yes that sounds like an incredibly safe idea.
-
How is that safe? And some people actually use their commutes to not work.
-
Not my boss. He'll be on a teams call while driving to the office. I don't get it.

That thumbnail is cursed
-
Great. The one app I actively avoid all the times is chasing me around like a scooby doo villain now.
-
No thanks. Keep the shitty electron app off my phone.
-
I can scare think of something I want less hahaha.
-

-
But why?

Why in the ever loving fuck would anyone want Teams in their car?!
I even don't know a single person who wants it on their computer.
If you use it for work, now you can count your commute as part of the work day.
That actually seems like a win win minus all the extra car accidents. A small price to pay for productivity
