I&#8217;m still relatively new to Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p>After spending several hundred miles as my ride-or-die, I&#8217;m confident in stating that it&#8217;s really a very good piece of technology.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s perfect, because there is definite room for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>I love the     <span class=\"display-card-hyperlink-article\"
