Looks like the important thing here is now is that you don't have to care that Android runs on your dash computer. It's that the phone is using your cars built in display, touchpad, buttons, microphones and speakers as an attached display, speakers, and inputs to the phone.

The actual apps run on your phone and so your car gets updates when the software on the phone gets updates.

This mode is highly preferable to the end-user apps living in the dash computer as that will not get upgraded worth a damn over the life of the car no matter what.

This is exactly what I'd want to see in this situation and I can't wait to get an aftermarket replacement to cover the gap until I need my next car.
