When I hop into my car, there is a list of checklist items I absentmindedly tick off. One is reaching for my cheap Android Auto dongle in my glovebox and plugging it in. Google’s in-car phone mirroring service has become essential to my car trips, as much as fuel, a seat belt, and a steering wheel. However, unlike driving, operating Android Auto is often challenging, especially when using voice commands.I’ve had so many issues with Android Auto’s voice assistants that I’m just about ready to give up on the feature entirely. This problem, as is the case so often, could easily be solved with a small tweak from Google. Instead of making its product the exclusive in-car assistant, I’d like to see the choice given to the consumer. As Android users can now select their default voice assistant of choice, this feature on Android Auto would put to bed my frustrations.
