You’re right. Basic economics. Given climate change though, I’m more interested in countries like Norway investing in policies that grow environmentally responsible industries rather than simply reducing a small part of the emissions of antequated and polluting ones.
This is stupid but entirely understandable when you look at how Norway makes money.
They want to clean up their own emissions at the same time as they export petroleum everywhere else.
It’s really great to watch this transition in real time. Even if this is just a small part of reducing overall carbon emissions, it’s important that this happens in the passenger vehicle space.
It makes me wonder how many of these consumers have been sold on the idea of electric vehicles for many years. And now, since the products exist, we get to see them act on their preference.
Android auto in isolation is generally fine. I've owned an aftermarket head unit that offered android auto and it worked flawlessly with my pixel phone.
When I bought a Subaru crosstrek, android auto using the same phone was terrible. It constantly disconnects and has strange audio issues all the time. Apple carplay works fine with my partners phone.
There is something about Subaru and their implementation that is total shit for android auto specifically. I wouldn't recommend them for a good android infotainment experience.
