Here's what driving with Android Automotive looks like right now

You've either heard of or used Android Auto, but Android Automotive is something altogether different. This built-in infotainment system officially marries Google to the automakers adopting this new OS, and while off to a decent start, not everything you'd expect to be available will be ready to roll.
