Android Auto has upgraded Google Assistant to Gemini recently. Huge improvement. All the AI conversations are now available with a single button on your steering wheel. You can say "play that song about [something]" and it will get it most of the time.
Preference for Android Auto/Carplay is much more than (subjectively) better navigation/media. It's about all the other apps that Tesla/Rivian don't support like WhatsApp, Waze, etc.
We've been using lechat for the last few weeks and we are very happy with it. The UI is simple and clean. Fast history search is the killer feature for us. A number of nice UI details really show that this chat was developed by developers for developers.
