Will there ever be such a thing? I know that you can use your phone on a mount, but having your phone integrated into your dash screen, steering wheel buttons, etc. Is a big convenience and I also think safer.

Would a drop in replacement be possible? Or would a whole new app need to be developed and integrated into every car manufacturer?

This is one google app that I still heavily rely on, unfortunately. I’m sure they are harvesting everything about me as I drive.

    I really wish some large government would order that all hardware manufacturers publicly released any source code used to make the hardware run. I think there are some real arguments you could make for the benefit of the economy if that happened. A hardware manufacturer can still lean on selling the physical parts even if the software can be copied, and the software can be tailored to their hardware making it harder for it to apply to their competitors. I’d actually like to hear others’ opinions on that too.
