Not sure why you got all the down votes here, as an educated society, wouldn't we want more competition and less monopoly as the world relies on this tech every day?

maybe because android automotive and google maps are different

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure Android Automotive uses Google Maps as its default navigation system.

Probably because wishing there were more alternatives to Google Maps has absolutely nothing to do with Porsche adopting Android Auto.

As much as people like to crow on and on about having choices, they don't actually like making choices. It's been the same with Linux, there's so much you can configure and change that you have to be proactive with your choices. It's why people gravitate to Apple simple interface where every decision has been made for you and the answer to wanting to change how the system works is met with "go fuck yourself".
