android auto

Android Auto is a mobile app developed by Google to mirror features of an Android device, such as a smartphone, on a car's dashboard information and entertainment head unit.
Once an Android device is paired with the car's head unit, the system can mirror some apps on the vehicle's display. Supported apps include GPS mapping and navigation, music playback, SMS, telephone, and Web search. The system supports both touchscreen and button-controlled head units. Hands-free operation through voice commands is available and recommended to reduce driver distraction.
Android Auto is part of the Open Automotive Alliance, a joint effort of 28 automobile manufacturers, with Nvidia as tech supplier, available in 36 countries.

    Audible Speed Warning - Waze

    For some years now I have relied on the audible speed warning provided by Waze, via Android Auto, to keep me out of trouble. A recent (unwanted) update appears to have removed this feature from Waze and replaced it with a slightly enhanced visual warning. This has nothing of the immediacy of the...
