    I used to champion AA because every car just had that shitty apple connection.

    Now at least we have AA. But it took so long, that google went from a good company to just as evil as Apple, so we have two asshole giants to chose from.

    We need a Linux open source alternative for phones… But I’ve been told it’ll never happen because the hardware is locked down and too different to be able to run custom roms…

    I don’t know what the solution is

      For usability the solution is using some custom ROM like Graphene OS or iode. They support AA now.

      For privacy the solution is to use a very old car with no infotainment. Modern cars have telemetry and always on connectivity you can’t control. Even Linux phones will not help with that. We would need open source cars which will never happen.
