I thought Android auto was free.

This is all about maintaining and selling your data for themselves. There was just a report out last week about how cars are one of the most data insecure devices you can own because of how poorly all the big auto manufacturers treat their customers.

Do you mean Android Auto, or Android Automotive (what's being used here)?

I assumed/got the impression that the latter cost money to integrators (GM) but I guess I don't know for sure.

Android Auto is "free" to end-users but is different.

Ah I stand corrected on the Android side. I assumed there was some licensing going on. I'll correct that.

[-] ripcord@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

I believe there is, for Android Automotive.

I read that article too. They know when you've been recreating Shakespeares "beast with two backs" in your car. Creepy stuff.
