    Why in the ever loving fuck would anyone want Teams in their car?!
    I even don’t know a single person who wants it on their computer.

        That actually seems like a win win minus all the extra car accidents. A small price to pay for productivity

      If your company uses Teams in place of a traditional phone system (which is becoming more common) then being able to answer phone calls from that system in the car easily is definitely an advantage.

      Mainly to catch a pointless meeting while I leave work instead of staying at work for the pointless meeting.

      Id rather be driving home saying nothing than sitting at a desk saying nothing.

      Meh, the reality is Android Auto is such a bad idea anyway.

      Being dependent on auto manufacturers to keep their head units up to date is silly. They’re terrible at this game.

      Ever had a car with GPS? My Android phone has beat car GPS since 2006. I have a new car in the family, and it will never see a mapping update. Oh, they claim it will exist, but when? And for how much? And when the manufacturer of that hardware ceases operations, what then? We use it just to have a map up, and phones for actual nav, for voice directions.

      Until we see open hardware in head units (so we can manage it ourselves), it will continue to be a shitshow. But we know manufacturers will never give up that control.

        I thought the phone rendered the UI shown on the headunit and all it does is pass though the video and button presses. I haven’t had a headunit update in 6 years and android auto is running the newest UI.

    I really don’t want to be available for work while I’m driving. At least give me that time frame for myself.

    My dude, I want two things in my Android Auto, and two things only: Maps and Spotify*. That’s it. Stop cramming stupid shit that can’t be used while I’m driving, what the hell.

    *swap it for your music player of choice.

      Not my boss. He’ll be on a teams call while driving to the office. I don’t get it.

    Great. The one app I actively avoid all the times is chasing me around like a scooby doo villain now.
