Android Auto sucks but I guarantee that any software that those car companies would have made in house would be many times worse.

Disagree. They mostly suck in a different way, with neither being better than the other. I've often switched back and forth.

But this is a red herring. With older cars, you could install a 3rd party system and it was far superior to Android Auto for the basic things I need.
